[Dilbert San Diego]

Liberals would be outraged at my opinion. I think we should sweep homeless off the streets. There is no constitutional right to pitch a tent anywhere, relieve yourself anywhere, sleep anywhere. We should pass laws allowing for the homeless to be swept up and sent to shelters or camps. At those places, their problems will be identified, and whatever assistance can be rendered will be rendered.

Some homeless can be helped. People’s lives fall apart for various reasons. Some can be helped to reintegrate into society. We should render that assistance, both through private charities and government programs.

For those homeless who have mental illness, whatever illness they have needs to be treated in an appropriate facility. Some sadly are incapable of properly taking care of themselves. But whatever the case, it is not good for them, or good for society, to allow people to wander around in the streets, living as they do.

Mental illness was the background for the movie “Cuckoos Nest,” with Jack Nicholson. This single movie laid the groundwork for the dismantling of mental institutions in nearly every state.

I would chisel your words in stone. Only common sense.
