text: how come homeless people just don't get jobs?   ok, big dog, how are they reasonably  going to do that?  they have no address, no reliable transportation, no real way to groom themselves or their clothing for interviews.  how many people would hire such a person?  even if you were willing to do so, how would you contact them for an interview?  think the dirty, rags-wearing, hobo bit is an act? they really drove to their corner in a lexus and have a razr cell phone in their pocket?  that is only the self-delusion nonsense of right-wing idealogues who say things like" they only do it cause they are lazy; wanna mooch off of us hard-working (read: white)citizens!" sure, a lot of homeless folks are there of their own accord- drugs, alcohol- bad choices- but a great percentage are mentally ill.  and if one decided to clean up, how could they?  try it yourself...
