I was homeless for a short time after I got out of the military. I definitely was not an addict or vagrant. These things do happen to good people.
This is why people who experience these issues need to be categorized. A person who just fell upon hard times is obviously easier to help than an addict or someone who is a danger to society.
True
So you were living in the streets and pooping on the sidewalks and begging on the street corners, leaving heaps of garbage everywhere you went?
None of that. I was homeless, not a pig. It was during the 80's recession.
That's my point. Not having a place of your own and using the system to help you get back on your feet is one thing, the term "homelessness" is a code word for the precious addict class that is used as a political tool.
Got ya. I didn't even use the "system" to get back on my feet. I was too proud for taking a handout. I very sadly cashed in my GI bill that I had been planning to use for college. I bought a car and lived in it until I had a steady income.
