All's I wanted was a drink of water and I was shunned and bullied right out of the Store. I was followed to Dollar General and got there ten (10) minutes before they closed, because I just wanted to run in and get some water, but the Clerk was standing at the closed door, with her hand on the lock and wouldn't let me in. I could see other people in the Store, standing behind her laughing. I asked her if I could come in and get some water "it wasn't 10:00 p.m. yet?" She said "no" and turned around so I couldn't see her face. I got back in my car and went to Wal-Mart. Several stoker's followed me, but I decided to ignore them and do all of my shopping anyway. I spent at least an hour getting everything I needed and dodging bullies in the isles, blocking me from going through, so I would have to turn around and go the other way to get out. When I got up to the Cash Register, the Clerk was busy with a Latino Woman and there were only two other Clerks, that also had Latino people up at the registers and they all had a book full of coupons. They also kept looking back at me and laughing. I walked up to the Clerk and asked her if she could call another Checker to come out and help. She looked up at the Latin woman she was checking out, smiled and kept sifting through the coupons, so I asked her again "excuse me Mam, can you call another Checker to help, I have ice cream here that's melting and I have to go" she looked up at me and said "I'll think about it" and started laughing. I took my belonging out of the cart, walked up to the Clerk and said "you can explain this to your Manager" and walked out. She yelled out to me "I will" and started laughing. As I walked out of the store there was a Latin man standing in my way, so I went around him and he blew something into my face. My eyes and nose started watering and I staggered to my car, got in and drove home shaking and crying...All's I wanted was a drink of water and I never got one...

We live happily indeed, not hating those who hate us! among men and woman who hate us - we dwell free from hatred! We live happily indeed, free from ailments among the ailing! among men and woman who are ailing we dwell free from ailments! We live happily indeed, free from greed among the greedy! among men and woman who are greedy let us dwell free from greed! We live happily indeed, though we call nothing our own!
One ought to follow the wise, the intelligent, the learned, the much-enduring, the dutiful, the elect; one ought to follow such a good and wise Soul, as the moon follows the path of the stars.
