The Homeless

[Steve in Vermont]

Back in the 60's we closed down institutions that cared for these people.

I remember it well, it was called "de institutionalization" and it was a well meaning but naive program that put more mental health patients into the community as it was meant to BUT...when they acted out they usually ended up in jail. There they were exploited by other inmates and had a criminal record. We've always had homeless people in our society and always will. There are many responses to this problem but I don't see any answers.

I have a niece that's homeless by choice. She has a Masters, and could have had a job anywhere she wanted. A failed marriage, and she's on the street. She was welcomed at out home at first, but she stole some things on her last stopover, and cannot come back. Meth rules her day. I hope the police can pick her up on warrants so she can maybe see the light of day. Doubtful.

Which is what keeps most of us at the level we are at for as long as we want to be.

Amen brother. Amen.
