Homeless = Wino, Crackhead, Deadbeat??

A couple of years ago I took my ex-wife to court for custody of our kids. Although this would make for a helluva post, I’m not going to pursue that topic just yet but I am going to say that because of a valiant effort on my part and single mindedness of the court system, I lost everything I owned in pursuit of doing the right thing. I was literally made homeless from the sheer amount of time I had to spend at court. For about a year I remained homeless, camping in the mountains mostly. I didn’t really care about anything. The system failed big-time and I wanted nothing to do with it.

I was reading another blog and the person was really talking trash about homeless people. Undoubtedly because they are much better than the homeless person. I can’t see how they would be better unless they crap 24 carat gold. Some people are homeless through no fault of their own. Some homeless people are that way because of a drug or alcohol addiction. And like it or not addiction is a sickness. The body craves the chemical so bad that it is the only thing you can think about. In the same post the person was talking about homeless shelters. “Build it and they will come…” Wanna know how to solve that problem? Put people in these shelters that Don’t have the system tattooed across their foreheads and Do actually give a rats ass about humanity in general. Maybe then they can actually help these homeless people.

You know what? I don’t have the answers to solving the problems of homelessness… but I know this, putting someone down because they are less fortunate than you, well…

Thats just stupid…
