In Pensacola, it is illegal for a homeless person to try to stay warm
under a blanket.

I doubt you would put up with a bunch of bums living next to your
house.




They just don't want their town to be a place overrun with bums.
I guarantee you, if it was happening in North Beach, they would run
them off citing this law (You may not camp or sleep overnight on
beach, pier, boardwalk, park, parking lot, etc.) and I am sure they
have that same basic law virtually everywhere that people with money
live.


So, your solution is to just leave them out there blanketless, so they
can die of exposure? I suppose that fits in with the free enterprise
system...with privatized body collection services who pick up the
remains and bill the city $1000 for disposal, eh?

Or perhaps they could go to a homeless shelter? You know, rather than die of exposure as you suggest
is Greg's solution? It appears Pensacola does have quite a selection:

Eh? And I didn't even have to put anyone down. What system would you have to replace the free
enterprise system?


I have an old high school chum living in a southern state where it
doesn't usually get that cold who sent me an email a week or so ago in
which he noted that a couple of homeless Vietnam vets had died of
exposure in his area, and that the news story about it had mentioned
that the several shelters in the area were "full up" and might not have
any vacancies for months.

What does that have to do with Pensacola and your ****ty comment to Greg, "So, your solution is to
just leave them out there blanketless, so they can die of exposure?"

I don't know that that is the case in Pensacola or whether there are
other factors that might keep people out of local shelters. Many
homeless people have issue with shelters, and some of those issues are
real and some are the result of the mental illnesses some homeless
people have.

The point is the world is not as binary as you righties think it is.

The point is that you put people down with absolutely no reason. Now you expand your 'put down' to
include all righties.

Just remember, Harry, every friggin' decision you've ever made in your happiness filled life was the
result of binary thinking. And, you're not even a 'rightie'.
