I was going to spend a lot of time on this but I felt myself becoming more and more drained by the level of blind ignorance my post was going to draw from both sides. Instead I'll say this, when people can stop being so damned selfish and looking out only for themselves, things will get better. There is a delicate balance that has been lost in this country between social responsibility and private gain. Unfortunately bipartisanship has all but vanished in it's true form. Just get that in your heads. Until people stop electing hardliners from either end, no matter who wins, America at large will lose.

And hoosier, your post is the perfect example of someone who doesn't know a thing except the same old escuses that have been told over and over again. It's one thing to be out of work because you're a drug addict or lazy, in which case i have no pity at all. It is something else to be plunged into inescapable poverty due to circumstances you could neither foresee nor prevent. More often than not, the latter is the reason people are homeless. But then I guess it's easier to say "most of them deserved it" and not feel guilt than to hear soemone's story and struggles and continue to not care.
