Hi Win, That might not be too bad of an idea. It all depends on how bad a leak it has. LOL Bob

Actually, it is not that far fetched. Nobody wants their shelters built in their neighborhoods. My idea is to put them in hospital ships where they get drugs for free until they can slowly detox and get off the drugs if they want. If not, let them stay drugged up in tiny quarters where they get free drugs and don't bother normal humans or steal from them to support their habit. Have constant, kind, humane reminders and help to show them a better life... perhaps with simple rewards like better food and quarters if they attend NA or AA meetings... Equip the hospital ships with a whole new set of interns and medical training that bypasses the monopoly the AMA has on health care. Train a whole new group of people to deal with addiction and mental disorders including depression. These could then graduate to work in cities to care for us geezers as we need care but in a cost effective way that doesn't line the pockets of hospitals and the AMA members. If done right, we could solve MANY of the problems that ails society. I'd also make it illegal to be intoxicated in public again with second offenses leading to time incarcerated in the locked up portions of these ships. Anyway, NONE of this will happen until we force the "advocates" to get real jobs and stop making it a "right" to piss on the street, be intoxicated in public and harass and harm "regular" people just trying to live their lives. The homeless are not "bad" it is their behavior that is bad. Treat and legislate the behavior without judgement of character (typical addiction recovery methods) and we might get somewhere.
