<<< If you set criteria where homeless people get housing and medical care, do you really think that the numbers will stay where they are now? All of a sudden the rest of the homeless people will find that they have some mental illness. A fresh new welfare industry will develop to give them that diagnosis.>>> It's like herding cats. I have four cats. Herding cats is one of the toughest jobs you can get. When you go to Holland, you see a lot of very attractive people, living quite prosperously. You would never know they have the highest incidence of mental illness in the world. It is lucky they have a terrific program to assist those mentally ill. Holland has a lot of advanced social programs. Some of them work and some of them don't. The intentions are all good. Who wants to see people suffer while they are terminally ill? No one. So they allow mercy killings - assisted suicides. Poor Uncle Uwe, he is broke now and terminally ill. If he wants to die and end the suffering - and not burden his relatives - why not? Funny, how in Holland poor people are much more likely to want to die to end the suffering than rich people.
