I have so much to say, but it's all been said before, and nothing changes. If you don't fit into this society, where do you live? Yea--Alaska, and end up like Chris McCandless?

I can only speak for San Rafael, CA. These people just want a place where they can pitch a tent without getting a ticket, and an outhouse. "Build it--they will come?" I can't argue it anymore. Oh, yea--San Rafael--We know you are actively using the "Break in the glass" theory.

It is like they are making the problem seem so complicated; nothing get's done? Or, maybe that's what they want?

I do know this--I don't joke about Homelessness. I don't know when it became O.K. to joke about Homelessness? I know I cringe whenever Jimmy Fallon uses the homeless in his shtick? Fallon is the first one to come to mind, but I hear it too much.

I feel sick even writing about it.
