I've been questioning of late what the heck I'm doing out here, but that seems to be answered now. I'm rather vocal and passionate on the Homeless issues in the United States. And though I have not thought of myself as homeless, I'm out here walking the world. What better place to be, with everything that is going on with the lawmakers across this great nation of ours?
It really seems that "homeless" and "criminal" are synonnms lately, and this is both frightening and appauling, espessially when this syncronization of terms is being done at the lawmaker level.
Homeless people are visible, and hard to ignore. It is an issue that anyone living in a large city has to deal with on one level or another. There are those who are terrified of homeless people, there are those who have built mental walls, and simply no longer recognize their existance to continue living.
Despite these "reactions" to homeless people, none of them alter the homeless themselves. Fearing them does not make them fearful. Denying their existance does not make them unworthy to live. Making them illegal does not make them criminals.
