BtS - Dunno what sort of homeless people you know, but even some people *with* homes that I know don't have iPhones, laptops and MP3 players.
I'd go so far as to say that the flatscreen TV and iphone owning populace is the minority.

And, of course, there's the concept of relative poverty, often ignored by the sort of people who say "well, you have food and a roof so stop bitching".

Why do we have no politicians as pure in their intent and determinedly joyous in their outlook as Arkady Bogdanov of Red Mars?
