Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

The bulk of the homelessness issue in the USA is due to a Reagan-era decision to close mental institutions.
Those who are homeless are often so mentally ill that they cannot even apply for government assistance. The vast majority need institutionalization more than anything else.
It's a HUGE problem in New York City. You can't be on the subway more than 10 minutes before someone comes in and starts off with the five most hated words in New York City: "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen..." And then proceeds to give a sob story and ask for money.
Fact is that most of these people are mentally ill and that feeding them or giving them money only contributes to their drug habits (self medication) and general state of poor health without addressing the underlying problem.
So I choose to give to legitimate charities and I don't give to panhandlers.
