Hi Misty - There was a thread on FR recently where some folks thought that homeless people are losers, alcholics and drug addicts. It's not true. In San Diego, years ago, the military set up tents off Balboa Ave behind the community college (right before you reach the Naval Hospital). It filled up with homeless vets. Most of them had dropped out of society for a variety of reasons amd my bet is that a lot of it was medical or family related.
Rather than dumping billions into foreign aid, I would rather see it go toward veteran issues and benefits. This extends to the People's Republic of Canada.
Oh, yes. It is also because some of them can't assimilate back into a society they learned not to trust. Some of them really don't feel comfortable anymore sleeping in confined quarters or not being "free". A lot of them are abandoned by families who don't understand their "weirdness." Thanks for you input. It's all a very sad part of our culture.
