    I feel ya little mister! I often have no $$, so this means I have to "steal" toilet paper from public restrooms! I don't feel like this is stealing, it's public & I'm simply taking what I might be using on a regular visit to this place! Women Need TP!! Times are ruff for all of us & I can only hope the people we vote into office understand how hard up we are! This is my 1st experience w/poverty in this nation & that's true for a lot of people! We're broke, but our reps in Washington keep playing political games at our expense! We are the people, the true government & as such we need to say Enuff! Work together & get us all back to normal or get the heck lost, cus you're holding up progress! No matter what, we will survive & succede & our nation will be great again! We just have to put the pressure on!!
