This is one of the most evil, anti-life things a person can say.
The very concept of the success is deeply immoral. If you are successful the other is loser. We shouldn’t accept it. We should prosper or suffer together. Otherwise it is satanic.

Ok here goes: I was a full time Public Defender for over 6 years. I have been in private practice now (for the second time) for 16 years. I still take public defender cases on a contract basis and those cases make up about 15% of my practice. So since 2004 I have literally represented thousands of homeless clients and I can say the pathetic stories you have been told by the media, by TV & movies, and by those organizations that “help” the homeless is 100% BS. Let’s start: Claim 1) “You’re just one paycheck away from being homeless.” None, NONE, of the people chronically on the street were working and then were on the street after losing a good job. Less than 5% of the people who become homeless are there because of some personal tragedy like losing a job, a natural disaster, or a death in the family. Those that are homeless due to such an event do not stay homeless for long. They avail themselves of the MANY available services, both public and private, and are back on their feet within short order. These people help themselves and I know of no person who objects to assisting these folks as they help themselves and are just trying to get from point A to point B and then get back to supporting themselves. BUT, if you listen to the media, entertainment, and the homeless assistance grifters, this 5% represents ALL chronically homeless families folks. It’s a lie. Claim 2) “If you give the homeless free or subsidized housing they will soon be supporting themselves as responsible citizens” Absolute BS. 100 % of the chronically (not temporarily) homeless fall into 2 categories: A) those that are severely mentally ill &/or drug addicted B) People that just do not want to work, pay rent, or live as responsible human beings. I have a LOT of personal experience with both groups but let me begin with Group B. I have seen hundreds of these types and no matter what assistance is offered them, they only avail themselves of any help long enough to get some money and a warm bed for a bit, and then are back to “flying a sign” at an intersection. They don’t WANT to work a steady job. They don’t WANT to be responsible for paying rent or a mortgage or bills. They don’t WANT to live like normal folks. They want to get money by begging and then go buy booze or drugs and party at the homeless encampment at night. They literally live like perpetual hippies. Many of them can stand in the hot sun for 8 hours at a time taking money for suckers so they have the ability to work for a living BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO! They even work out shifts at the street corners with their buddies. One dude is there till lunch, one dude works the afternoon. “Flying a sign” is the grift. “Homeless vet” “Down and out” “Got laid off” You’ve all seen them. It’s. A. Grift. You are being conned. Big cities shuffle these guys to other cities by giving them free bus trips. Hundreds of homeless in southwest Missouri are shipped here every month from cities like Chicago and Memphis. They move from town to town and get free meals, clothes, bus passes, and other goodies and find a new intersection and a new camp and restart the grift over and over. To get transitional housing they would need to keep a regular job and not drink and not do drugs. They don’t want that. These folks are not alcoholics or addicts in the clinical sense, they just want to live off the charity of others and party at night. They are like perpetual teenagers and they never grow beyond that mentally as long as there are enough suckers to subsidize their lifestyle. The organizations that help the homeless, even religious ones, exist for federal & state grant money. They get more funding for every homeless person they “help.” They have zero incentive to make their “assistance” dependent upon a homeless person making any responsible changes. Thus the more homeless assistance organizations you have in your town, the more homeless people you will have. The cycle never ends Continued

As a former Public Defender who has represented hundreds of homeless clients I support laws like this 100%! I will be showing this bill to several state legislators I know here in Missouri and offer to testify in support of such a bill if submitted in the Legislature.

I'm reading this book The Iron Curtain Over America and, while the content is interesting, it's the writing style that I'm actually enjoying most. It seems like this guy really was doing everything in his power to make the best possible argument and was probably fairly reasonable

Contrast this with Pedagogy of the Oppressed and, well, it seems Freire requires the reader to subscribe to his ideas before he could begin to sound reasonable. It isn't love that drives him, it's blatant malice. He doesn't want peace and brotherhood, he wants violence and death.

It seems like one could disagree with Beaty and have a good conversation, a sparring partner worth seeking out. Freire, you can't spar with someone who does not live in your universe, who can agree on neither facts nor values.

Colcannon has absolutely no business being as good as it is. Just saute chopped cabbage in some butter, salt to taste, and mix with mashed potatoes, also buttered and salted to taste. The flavor, the texture, the comfort. Unreasonable. Chop and add nice sausages for a full meal.
