Homeless

part of a soceity and just to show how week your country is

it very sad to see i tells me more work is needed in this area

It is sad that there are homeless people. There shouldn't be any with all the wealthy people we have in this country. People should be more willing to help the people that need or want a place to live. Our government should do more to help provide places for the homeless.

I can only think of "fortunate" to describe ourselves.

Generally I think "there but for fortune go you or I". The US Supreme Court last June decided it was ok for the government to seize private property (it is under something called eminent domain) and give it to someone else (it used to be that they could only seize your property for public use.. like roadways) who is willing to pay more taxes than you are. Now when I look at a homeless person, I realize just how close many people are to that scenario. While some of them choose to be on the street and homeless, some do not. There is not a good way to determine which ones would rather be somewhere else, so it is difficult to know just how to help any of them.
