Homeless people

okay, so if they are so bad off that they cant be conscious of their surroundings, again, how is that my problem? You can lead a horse to water, but you cant force it to drink....how am I supposed to miraculously change these peoples lives???

You know, Kevin, i was at a fast food joint a few days ago, and this guy bumped into me, I turned, looked, smiled, and turned back to what I was doing (becuase honestly, he looked kinda creepy and scared me). I walked away from the counter and he followed me "Hi how are you doing" he said to me, in a voice so low I could barely hear him. I looked at him quizzically, and he kept talking, again, so low that I couldnt understand him. I said "Excuse me?" and he started to talk again...again, too soft for me to hear. At that point, i rolled my eyes and walked away muttering under my breath about how if you're gonna talk to me, look me in the eye and say what you need to say, dont stare off in space and expect me to help you out when you cant even speak up where i can understand what the hell it is you're asking.

Oh, I might add, he had 2 tear drop tattoos on his face. Yeah, I was TOTALLY comfortable helping him out with WHATEVER it might have been he was asking for.

CG - back to the point at hand- I'm sorry these people arent educated. but what the heck am I supposed to do to change that?
