Hey, Einstein! It's been SUB ZERO for a week straight now.
"People seem to care more about ...than they do about men like him, who line up in the cold every night to race for a cot in Madison's oldest homeless shelter."
He gets it. Now he should use that new-found knowledge to make a life assessment.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy them all a one-way bus ticket to San Fransicko?
I would think that even if the place had everything but bubonic plague, it also had the one thing the outdoors in Madison, Wisconsin lacked this time of year: heat. While that alone might not earn it a five-star in Zuggat's, it should at least merit some appreciation.
I'm curious about Bernand Lewis, the 56 year old retired GM employee. I wonder why he retired so young, and I also wonder where his retirement checks are.

There's a stigma attached to the homeless and that's as it should be - it makes for less of them.
A GM retiree who can't afford to support himself?
"In addition, the men say that the blankets and pillows they use are not laundered often enough. "They stink," they said"
To this idiot: Get off your %$#$%%$#@ a-- and help the shelter people that are giving you your welfare!
(oh, wait, there is a reason you and the others are on the street isn't there?)
How many of them were once punkish youths demanding drug freedom, and promising not to leech off of others if they ever lost control of their habit?
They are the same addicts we see here occasionally, just in a different stage of life.
Beggars can't be choosers.
"Of the three toilet stalls, the men said, only one has a door. Blankets hang over the openings of the other two stalls, they said. Schooler said that replacement doors are on order, remarking that the doors were ripped off their hinges.
Vandalism grows out of the way the men are treated, said the man who has been working to bring public attention to shelter conditions. "We disrespect the place because we get no respect," he said."
They tear the place up, then complain conditions are substandard. The "logic" of complete losers.
Years ago, I got involved with some volunteer stuff, thinking I was doing my civic duty and all. But I quickly got disillusioned with the whole scene. These organizations were chock-full of self-important bozos who evidently signed on as volunteers so they can call themselves "directors" and "executives" all the other titles they could never hope to possess in the real working world.
Thus you had losers who couldn't get a mailroom job in the corporate world strutting around the place haughtily bossing other volunteers around like they were Donald Trump or Leona Helmsley or something.
If I was running that place anyone who made a peep after lights-out would be out on their @ss so fast they would skid to a stop.
There are plenty of others to take their place.
In addition, the men say that the blankets and pillows they use are not laundered often enough. "They stink,"
