I am at a loss where to start. Does he mean gangs of homeless are creating havoc in national parks? Like marauding Bears? Or is their smell Making it hard for the sun to cut through to the ground? Which environment is he talking about? The pavements of the bigger cities? Is this Americas new "Environment? Maybe these homeless people should go home and take a shower? Please reassure me that Americans arent as stupid as this??

So you are fine with dropping your draws in the middle of the street and defecating?

@curiosi No.. Thats kind of the point. Give me a shovel and I have done so in the woods. Its not an "environmental" problem. Its a social problem.

@whowasthatmaskedman It is a social AND becoming a health issue. Because God doesn't like hate, so he will spread diseases to us and our kids if we don't care about the poor and the needy!

@Carazaa At the risk of being seen as the devil who sites scripture for his own purposes." "The Lord helps those who help themselves. " "These are human beings who need a real world solution. I dont like the idea of the President treating them as a blight.

@whowasthatmaskedman You sound like a hater. Some people with Schitsophrenia can not help themselves. THEY NEED HELP!!!

@Carazaa I dont hate anyone. And Yes. Many with mental issues must be helped and supported. I was not referring to the homeless helping themselves. Rather I was referring to the "people" not waiting for god to provide a miracle. People need to help people here and now.
