It's time we called a spade a spade. Poverty is not a virtue. Being an addict living on the street should be considered shameful. Let's stop calling them homeless and call them what they are - bums. Once we start giving homelessness a bad name, and stop worrying so much about their dignity and their rights we will be on our way to solving the problem. Make it shameful enough that these folks will give some serious considertion into getting into rehab and the rest of us into encouraging them, rather than coddling them as oppressed victims of circumstance.
