Why indeed. Where I live we have vacant free shelters where one can get a bed, a shower and a meal, and yet there are those who absolutely insist in pan handling for their next bottle. A sad picture.


Have you ever spent a night in a shelter?

More to the point, have you ever been mentally ill and spent weeks, months, or even years in shelters?


I haven't done any of those things. Yet I'd wage it would be better to live on a shelter than on the streets, unless one has some serious psychological demons, in which case an hospital with specialized care should be preferable.

What assholes! I mean, I know plenty of people who have the audacity to work in high tech to support their alcoholism!
