I seem to remember a lot more attention being paid to the problems of the homeless here in the US, back in the late 80's, early 90's. Then they suddenly dropped of the face off the planet and haven't been heard of since, regardless of the fact that their numbers are growing. The worrisome part is that many of the new homeless are families, who simply can't make ends meet. It is quite ridiculous that we are the richest nation on the planet, but probably have the biggest homeless problem of any industrialized nation. But then again we live in a country where you are only heard if you can afford a lobbyist. So, I guess they are screwed. feli On Apr 18, 2005, at 6:01 PM, Didier Ludwig wrote: > >> "No bums?" > > I see no sense in the "no bums" rule, too.
