The Causes of Homelessness

  I see at least 5 different populations of homeless, each needing their own solution.

1. Teenagers who ran away from home to avoid parental authority. These are the people that spiritual outreach might be the best thing they ever encounter.
2. Economic victims- people who were living paycheck to paycheck when extra taxes or a medical emergency or a lost job took their home away. These people react best to shelter and housing solutions, and public housing.
3. Drug and Alcohol Addicts- we need to go back to "being high or drunk in public will land you in an intake center for treatment"- ZERO TOLERANCE. End the open air drug markets.
4. The mentally ill- we closed all the asylums in the 1970s and 1980s out of concern for abuse there. But we didn't replace it with anything at all. Nothing at all. With the modern ability to webcam every single room to prevent abuse, it's time to reopen the asylums for the 27% of our population who are unable to deal with reality.
5. Recidivist Criminals who are NEVER on the streets for more than a few days at a time. Their housing of choice is the county jail. They get out, they shoplift, they go back in. Lather, rinse, repeat. These people the justice system needs to deal with, and I think we need a special *recidivist rate* for such people. Minimum manual labor trade training *and support on release* to rebuild a legal and profitable life, is in order.

Father claims 15 year old girl is capable of consent in Lesbian Rape Case

Father claims 15 year old girl from another family is capable of consent : I'm beginning to really like the change in Florida's government.  First they stop handing out welfare checks to junkies.  Now they are treating Lesbians under the same rules as Heterosexuals, gasp, what a concept!  Don't sign this petition unless you are FOR statutory rape of younger girls by predatory lesbians. How many 18 year old boys have been prosecuted for having sex with 16 year old women under "minors can't give consent"?    Special treatment for lesbians?  Please, no.

Call them what you like, Broken Families are still a TRAGEDY!

Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.
