Talking and demonizing helps no one; it only shows a lack of understanding of the breadth and depth of the problem.  People need solutions in the form of real help--a safe place to b, stability, ongoing and not piece-meal social services to address their issues, a hot shower, a safe secure place to call their own, nutritious food, job training, a caring community that accepts them and their sometimes bizarre behavior---and to be treated with the respect that should b accorded to all human beings.
