I feel bad for people “down on their luck” and it’s easy to want to help the homeless. But most of them are simply addicts/drunks. It is easy to ignore the pain that their choices have caused their families. Parents who know that they are dunks or druggies. Sometimes spouses and children who know that they are useless drunks and druggies. Homelessness for most of them was a choice and it is a choice that they make every day.

Also of course there is mental illness for some. The inability to function well enough to live a normal life. Where does the blame for that problem lie? I put that in the ACLU who has consistently torpedoed any attempt by government to find some way to use logic and law to identify people with mental health and to treat them even if they are so mentally ill that they refuse treatment. In this issue the ACLU is guilty of denying help for the mentally ill and making the homeless problem worse.
