This is a special note today to blogging buddy Kevin Barbieux in Nashville Tennessee.

Kevin, that's what we here in the South refer to as "Greyhound therapy." Simply put, in order to make sure places like Nashville (and Huntsville, AL by the way, which gets a grossly less disproportionate amount of HUD money to help the homeless population), remain clean and pure for their Country music tourists, or the generally white collar population, they shift funding to other areas and politely make sure the undesirables know where the Greyhound bus station is. In some cases, they will actually purchase the ticket for you, so you too can go live in Birmingham or Mobil, or wherever it is in Tennessee they send them.
By definition, by the way, Greyhound therapy isn't legal, and once the ole ball gets rolling, the whole community has a tendency to join it. They call it "acting in concert." Which by definition is conspiracy, and in context, also not legal.
Needless to say, this creates all sorts of dribble down effects. Before long, you have got yourself a full scale extermination program, hence one reason the current administration has been referred to as "Bush-a-Nazi." In the past they called it the Holocaust.
In my opinion, sorry for your toes, they ought to abolish ALL homeless services. People who need assistance under the ADA should get it. People with disabilities should be accommodated.
But the engine that the charity services thrive on, also provides the excuse to guide people into crime, who are a disproportionate share of the people needing assistance, as they come out of prison.
Mental illness is also a great excuse to deny employment, and create more fodder for the homeless system. Of course, causing symptoms, for a variety of reasons, is no new trick, and MOST people who are in that category probably have no inherent problem at all.
And, a special note to "W." Your "non-discussion" dismissal of Bernie Carrot, in the underground light of the tasor assault program of children for prosylitizing, isn't likely to actually provide consoling sublimation for the ones who figure it out...hello California.
From there, anyone who is genuinely on hard times, can and should live in whatever greenspaces are available in the central city, and when the excrement gets deep enough, the local business community will feel the pressure to offer employment that pays well enough to survive.
Temporary services should be far more tightly regulated, since they provide slave labor wages by exploiting people who have had there background checks forever smeared.
Then, shut down the southern border, and send all illegal immigrants home, thereby creating a smaller labor pool, and allowing supply and demand to enhance wages.
Then, more tightly regulate imports, which seem nice, but also undercut out labor system, usually by countries who are supporting their industry with slave labor, or direct involvement.
And, finally, the best way to remove "W" Bush from office, is to recognize sedition for what it is, and let impeachment proceedings begin.
Yes, the system is broken, and we are in far deeper trouble than most are yet to realize...but they will.
