She complains persons have the freedom of speech. But what about the government? about the homeless. And what solution does she have for homeless Does government have the freedom of speech? people sleeping in the streets? None. Our homeless problem first That is not an academic question.

They told me, “Mom and her boyfriend ate both gallons of ice cream last night, and we want to keep it over here in your freezer.” I went to a barbecue that the mom did on welfare day, and the kids both asked for small plastic bags or jars with tops. They proceeded to take food and put it in the bags and shove them into their pockets. I told them that there was plenty of food, but they said, “You better get all the KFC chicken you can right now, because there won’t be any later.” Now I was really worried and said, “If there aren’t any leftovers, I’ll buy you a bucket.” Bad move because the next day I bought a bucket of chicken. Then the mom moved to Utah, and I was told that she was doing fine and had “straightened up.” The kids visited and seemed healthy and well. Then years passed. The next thing I heard was that the kids had been taken away from the mom, and her boyfriend was in jail. Miss “A” had been summoned to the counselor’s office because her brother “B” was absent too much and they couldn’t contact mom.
