I was not implying that marijuana was a major part of the problem. My point was that when you are high all the time and everything is "perfect" than you don't care about what is happening and if you are happy, well who cares. China had their opium dens. We have heroin, meth and crack. For those that believe natural is safe, heroin, cocaine, marijuana and tobacco are natural. Easy for a government to control when the population is high. Sounds like a good topic for a book.

Using the term homeless is like using the term undocumented. Homeless renders sympathy, a family that has had their home foreclosed on and now are living on the streets. These people we need to help. Actually, most of the "homeless" are either drug users, alcoholics or psychotics. So, lets not call them the homeless but what they were called in the past, bums or hobos. There are many youtube videos documenting these outlyers of society. A reasonable society does not put up with this. A progressive society thinks that building homes for these "homeless" is the way to go. Just as long as it is in your neighborhood. And as we embrace more legalized drug use we can only expect more of this. Everyone high on marijuana and they don't care what happens.
So I propose we not use the term "homeless" for these bums, hobos, vagrants and derelicts.
