Solving the Homeless Problem

The United Nations no longer uses the word homelessness. Instead of homelessness they now use the term houselessness. Good for the UN. Until they restore some credibility lets just ignore them.

According to WarmingFamilies.org the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, claim up to 600,000 men, women, and children go homeless each night in the U.S.

I once heard a caller, probably on a talk radio show like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, say we should increase our trade with Mexico by trading our homeless for their illegal aliens, and after all, the illegal aliens will work. Was the statement rhetorical, sarcasm or humor? Who knows who really cares?

Supposedly there is a better solution to the homeless problem. A solution recently discovered by a large portion of the U.S. population. A solution I myself could have never imagined but it is the “will of the people.”

I have seen homeless people both in small communities and in major cities in the United States. Often I would walk by and wish I didn’t see them, there I admit it. Homeless people actually do often live under bridges, cardboard boxes and some of the “luckier” homeless get a scrap wood lean-to. Even in the hot summer months they wear many layers of clothing, if not they would certainly loose them. This is why our homeless carry everything they own with them. Other then shopping that may be the number one reason for shopping carts. Can you imagine this way of life?

Most of the homeless have an alcohol problem, they drink more alcohol then they eat food. The tuberculosis rate is 5.2 per 100,000. Many if not most have some sort of physical or mental handicap. How often do they shower, brush their teeth or comb the lice from their very matted hair? How often do they shop at the local dumpster? Their bathroom manners are deplorable, right? Haven’t you seen this? Can you imagine this way of life? Talk about “quality of life,” what quality?

The Solution

Recently I have learned that the public believes your “quality of life” determined by others, is your “right to life” and it is revocable! So if you find homeless people send them to Florida. No silly not Disney World, Pinellas Park, Judge George Greer’s district. There they will confine them to a well guarded room and, I find this gut wrenching to say, not allow any food or water. According to so many people who have spoken out, it is a “quality of life” issue and they would never want to live this way. I must stress this warning though, the wacko “right to life” crowd, probably right wingers, will fight you on this.

In the end it comes to this. The courts in America have kept a handicapped person from her caring parents and protected custody to a spouse accused of abusing her, who has abandoned her for another family ten years ago and is fighting for her death.

Is this an example of the “judicial tyranny” that supposed right wing wacko Mark Levin is screaming about?
Of course not, it is Hitlerism, you know, weeding out the weak, survival of the fittest.


God Bless America
