That statement appears to be true in fact, does it not? You don't remember me itemizing the numbers, do you? No, of course not. But this is all beside the point. The point is that a young man paying $28,000 a year to go to school, and owning (one assumes) a Leica camera is not going to qualify for the LUG most needy student scholarship. I can name three AIDS patients who can't afford their monthly medication and who don't receive Medicaid. I know an old lady who eats bread sandwiches (that's two slices of bread with nothing in between) because she runs out of food at the end of each month. I know two mentally ill brothers who live on $17,000 a year between them. Before I piss myself off, let me ask you: Do you really think I want "at least a $1,000" gathered for a student to go pester homeless people in another country because the homeless people in California aren't exotic enough?
