I'm glad FF was able to post the story for you. Utterly sickening, isn't it?! And when you consider that people on government assistance must have an address to mail their public aid to, it really speaks volumns about what the officials are really up to! 'Clean' up Las Vegas so that the tourists and big rollers won't have their fantasies interrupted with social reality and not feel so guilty about their extravagant spending and winnings!!! *barf*

LV is really living up to its name as 'Sin City'...but not for the reasons it originally got that name!!!

And BTW...it is an erroneous assumption that all homeless are mentally ill. Frankly anyone familiar with the mental health system and psychiatric hospitalization would consider their resistance to being carted off to psychiatric wards is actually a sign of mental health! I worked in the field for many years and there is NOTHING healthy about it!!!

It is up to us- we really do have the grass roots power to make ccchange- That's how the Chrisitan Coalition (hence Bush jr) got power. First they weeeeeeere the moral majority (if one overlooks their sexual perversions?)\

But I tell you when they begin losing elections to Liberals they organized and it did make a difference in (not the things one would suspect) but in power.

It can be brought back to some equilibrum if if their is organization at the community level-

And of course at the international level if Blair keeps us honest (as he sometimes does, and sometimes does not) with IMF, and developing nations debt...human srights in Africa, many of the Moslem/Jewish-or Christian civil wars.

There is only rebellion when there is no hope- if people have hope- even with hunger and disease they are often very dddynamically resilent- as apect that I see as the most beautiful in the human spirit
