(112,747 posts)One thing that I am comfortable in stating after posting articles from around the country is that the crazy people are everywhere. I think that every state has the equivalent of a "Florida Man".

I respect any steps forward on social issues but food is one of the greatest issue anywhere.
Thanks for posting this.

(112,747 posts)I've been homeless myself so I can relate to the issues faced by the homeless from bad luck to family issues to physical and mental health problems.
City ordinances that forbid feeding to homeless and panhandling prohibitions are only the beginning of the travesties. Subjecting people to debtor's prisons for failing to pay court fines and civil judgments along with segregating the homeless away from the public are the ways that the "undesirables" are vanquished as a blight upon society. Some people believe that if you can't see those that are less fortunate then they don't exist and the issues related to poverty can be ignored.
Thanks for reading the links and responding.
