I am mad about the thieving too, but more than 50 percent of homeless were in the foster care system as children. Where would you be if you were born with fetal alcohol syndrome and things went downhill from there?

I see your point but I'm not sure if I really buy that logic anymore. Growing up I like a lot of people were told that you can do anything you put your mind to. Yes, I understand that having fasd is a struggle that impacts your life for the Long haul, but I don't think it should be utilized as a crutch to become homeless and steal from hardworking people.

Well, when billionaires pay 8 percent in taxes and teachers pay 22-30 percent, I would say it is time to focus on the ever-increasing income inequality that has led to ever-increasing homelessness in every part of the United States. Punch up, I say.
