There's much written about homeless people. At any given time, there are approximately three million people without a home in this country. These live on the streets, under bridges and overpasses or sheltered in tents, makeshift shacks or lean-to's. Many caring individuals sincerely want to help but too many see them as potential converts to their particular brand of Christianity or Cult. Bread in one hand and a bible or beads in the other. Take one and you are obligated to take the other.
Homeless shelters are too often a joke. Don't go near one without your possessions firmly secured to your body. Theft is rampant not only among the population but the staff is not averse to picking up some loose pretty bauble. Even sleeping on one's shoes is not enough. They need to have laces tied together and looped over the neck so attempting to remove them can't be done stealthily.
This subject is too long and involves so many facets it can't really be done justice in a short blog essay. At the behest of a dear old friend, I have created a new blog at *(forthi567.blogspot.com )* to address this issue fully on a daily basis. I will start with my own experiences and move on to a current person's daily life. I haven't read up on this method so what I write is original thoughts , ideas and current situations. I have made it public so if you want to check it out you can.
