RE: Reflections from Life on the Streets

You're a dick for going through someone else's shit, then calling the cops on him. Homeless people that stay in cities are like zoo animals that have escaped their cages but are too stupid to leave the zoo. I know it sounds like I'm being overly judgemental here but you're whining about needing more help from the very system that chewed you up and spit you out. I've been home free for 8 years. One reason is that I'm dealing with a busted neck that makes my blood pressure spike so bad that I had a stroke a few years ago. The main reason is that I can see that capitalism is a slavery system and cities are a disease. I don't get food stamps or disability. I'm resourceful and scavenge and hunt. I've learned useful skills so I use those skills to help people and actually have a little gift economy going in an area full of people that are consumed by civilization still. I've read your stories. I've lived on the streets with people like you. Being a pro hobo is way easier than sitting around stinking up the sidewalks and whining about getting help. If you're not willing to help yourself, and you don't help others, why should anyone help you?

best of luck to you.
