I often work with those that are victims or homelessness, but a large number are homeless by choice, and will reject any assistance that comes with requirements, or changes in behavior.(1)
There are areas all over America that are considered ghettos but they are very small in comparison to whole. Most areas have programs that offer some kind of help, and those that take advantage of the help, fare well. Unfortunately, the majority are not victims, they are the result of poor judgment, mental impairment, and or substance abuse.
This has been the face of homelessness, but that face is changing rapidly. We are now having a large increase in the number of working poor. I am hoping that the working poor will realize that they are backing the wrong horse, and I hope that they will use their intelligence and buying power to their advantage, instead of just following the crumbs being scattered by government.
Personally I would rather eat tree bark and grasshoppers, than the poop meat, and the soylent green the government is planning for our future.(2) If we have any hope of surviving this insanity and the coming Mad Max Thunderdome, we had better get ready now.
1. I have had the same experience. A gentleman I worked with last winter would have rather frozen to death than look after himself. Friends and family kept trying but he refused. What are you supposed to do? I do not feel sorry for him when multiple opportunities were presented.
2. If you have any good grasshopper recipes, please let me know.
