Okay, we're in agreement there. Homeless people's problems by and large aren't their fault. Certainly the solution isn't pointing fingers at them.
I guess the main thing I'm trying to say is that I take issue with the parent comment. I think it would be a huge, absurd mistake to take the funding for programs that meet material needs and instead give it directly to people with mental illnesses, drug addictions, and other issues. If these people were in shape to handle money, they'd likely have some. They need help, and cash is not help.
So... what exactly do you mean by "giving a damn?"
