I think about half of homeless folks fit this mold. They have given up on the system and have found enough reasons to be satisfied with survival. When you hear that the national average of what homeless people are bringing in from panhadling (two years ago it was almost 30 grand a year)why shouldn't they!? Yes it is again us dumb/naive Americans who perpetuate this problem by "feeling sorry for them". You might want to think about that next time the guy with dirty pance on and new Nikes and prescription eye glasses askes you for your change. If it were my decision each one would have a psych evaluation done and after finding them "able bodied and of sound mind" you tell them get a job or throw 'em into the prison work program. At least then they are helping to feed/support the rest of the bottom feeders of society. If were going to pay them I'd rather pay to have them out of my way instead of paying for them and having them stink up another street corner close to my home.
