Trying out the citizen journalism thing. While in Vancouver, I saw a HUGE line to get into H&M’s grand opening (they’re a clothing store). Half a block away, I saw homeless people who probably needed the money about to be spent by the people in line.

I’ve been reading about social justice and christianity lately, so I was really struck by the irony here… people spending extra money on clothes they really didn’t need, waiting for an hour or so in line… while not 50 feet away were people who needed food and actually DID need clothing.

Anyone see the irony here?
