Just say NO to the homeless ?

 Like many  in downtown Providence I'm often annoyed - and

    depressed- by repulsive and aggressive panhandlers. At times it is

    the psychological equivalent of a holdup. I either give the gentleman

    indigent or indigent gentleman enough change for a cup of hot coffee or

    a gallon of gas or he will crudely suggest in unpoetic language that I

    actually have an incestuous relationship with my 80 year old mother !

                But I still insist that  rather than just say NO to the homeless

    panhandlers, we say NO to homelessness.

            Yes, it should be against the law for ANYBODY to be homeless.

    A  city should be fined by a federal judge for every indigent not

    adequately housed - rather than  absurdly fine the indigent $500 for

    aggressive panhandling.

               Homelessness is not a problem to be solved for this society's

    ruling class. It is a menace to be contained or watched. All plutocrats

    fear the people of the Abyss, the uprising of the unwashed, the fury of

    the mob - with nothing to lose !

                 Reform is the best cure for revolution.
