Richard, When you take a break from spouting off about all those "lazy" drug users, try to remember who a significant number of the homeless and addicts are these days. They are veterans who deployed, got injured and returned with a doctor prescribed addiction to pain pills or who have to get drunk to sleep at night because their bad dreams keep them awake. Just like all the men who came home from Viet Nam with "a monkey on their back." We're reliving history all over again, with an enemy no more easily identified or defined than the Viet Cong to boot!  But of course, personal responsibility and taxpayers all the rest of your thoughtless diatribe...
