Left-wing activists use the homeless in the same way that the Arabs
use the Palestinians - as a propaganda tool. You won't see these
liberals passing up their lattes, Volvos, condos, and $100 meals in
fancy foo-foo restaurants called "Chez whatever" to personally feed,
clothe, or rehabilitate some homeless person. And if somebody does try
to do something positive to get these people off of the streets and
into shelters or treatment (Guiliani in NY circa 1990's, "Care not
Cash" in SF) the oh-so-compassionate lefties go ape-shit, screaming
"homelessness is not a crime", and accusing whoever suggested the plan
as proposing everything short of genocide. The fact of the matter is
that lefties don't realy give a shit what happens to the homeless in
the long run. They WANT these people on the street, in order to foment
antagonism and conflict between them and working taxpayers.
