Crazy? To be fair, the minimum bar in American society these days is pretty dang low. Don’t steal, don’t rape, don’t physically assault, don’t walk nude on the sidewalk, don’t poop on the floor of the grocery store, leave the kids alone. Wi

Not many people would begrudge a tarp to a person in need, if asked, and the reality is that most theft of other peoples’ belongings absolutely doesn’t happen under such a circumstance. Framing the problem as such is a self-deluding and dis

Not nasty, a fair observation even if over generalizing. Let’s not shy away from the reality. Yes, mementos of past lives and paperwork do exist as a fractional though important part of the whole, but the point that by volume much of the ma

I think his conclusion was that enforcement at least makes the city more livable for the people who do choose to be a part of society, air-gapping the problems endemic to vagrancy (assault, abuse, drugs, crime), while having at least a marg

Evidently, wine-track lawyers retailing a bad product aren’t desirable leaders for the nation. If the key doesn’t fit, it might not be the lock’s fault.

I don't equate easy with better. I miss the sense of community inspired by going to the local polling place and seeing your neighbors. It's a ritual that has value. Yeah it takes some effort, and if people want to make it a federa

No, you’re adding your own bias into this reading. You are putting your own thoughts into the head of another, projecting. You can’t burden another person with that. Read it literally.
