Until recently I worked in a homeless shelter, specifically in the drunk-tank portion. I kept a note I received from a really young guy, definitely an alcoholic but a good kid and he was hoping for nail clippers. I always sort of pictured the nameless predators on the streets zeroing in on him. One minute he'd be there and then the next he'd just be gone. Less trace than a carbon shadow on Hiroshima's walls.

He is mute though not deaf. I don't think he is mentally handicapped, but possibly brain damaged. The only sounds he can make are odd gutteral throat...things. I haven't seen nor thought of him in a couple of years, till I found this little scrap of paper he passed me one night and I kept. I guess I kept it because of the odd and random reference to tech.
His printing is awful & I'll fix it, but more or less exactly:

There's So Much New Stuff And Technology That Wasn't Even From My Dads Generation
Got Any Nail Clippers Unopened.

Shouldn't robots have the same right as humans to have gender and express their sexuality?
