From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2007-01-06:
"I will donate money to the Out of the Cold people who had planned to shelter the homeless one day a week at a church in my Toronto neighbourhood. These refuges are welcomed everywhere in the city but here, where homeowners are complaining about lazy, nasty hungry people who will import bugs. A few blocks from the church that had planned to feed the homeless is a spa 'for mind, body and spirit.' It's for dogs. Here in Dogville, pets are worshipped, but autistic children are insulted in restaurants by parents with 'perfect' children. In my part of town, be canine, immaculate and well-fed. Or else." -- Heather Mallick, writer, offering number 5 on her list of New Year's resolutions.
