RW> Even you will have to admit that some of these people should NOT

RW> the homeless I've came in contact with have mental problems.
I agree with you many people are scamming the system. I don't think
it is right, either. However, any way you look at it, you still lose.
Wanna put them in jail? You're still paying for their room and board.
Mental hospital? Doctors and etc cost more than jailers. Leave them on
the street? Food stamps and shelters.
You speak of the most of them having mental problems... I think I
mentioned that a week or so ago, when the Regan Era produced a glut of
homeless when the State Mental Institutions were closed to all but the
criminally insane. Short term gain by our politicos and the buck got
passed to the next (us) generation.
BTW, how's it going with your property taxes?
RW> Cold? Yes. Hard? Yes. Unfortunately real life is cold and
RW> hard.
Sure is, isn't it?
