You claim to have spent time working with the homeless, but are still willing to judge their worth by the problems they have? By the choices they have made?

What annoys me is the way it's so often dressed up with a caring "They're not all bad!" It's the patronising attitude that you get to decide. "Oh he doesn't drink." "He gets no government help." (As if that is something we should be proud of.)

I'm sure Fred's a fascinating man, he should be celebrated as such. Arguing whether he's a tourist or homeless, or saying "Well yes he is homeless, but he's better than those other homeless people" does no one any credit.
