Feeding Homeless Outlawed

I have no idea about the legality of this issue. Constitutional law is voodoo and basically I couldn't care less about precedent and I have no idea what the founding fathers wanted. I do think it's immoral. But, that doesn't matter so much.

I do think laws like this create long-term problems. You really can't just hide problems in the long term. You may get the homeless off of the street until the time of the homeless intifadah comes. Which, would probably be purse snatching and violence. If we have a problem we need to fix it and while it may make people feel better to keep the dirty people away it's not going to fix societal problems. I seriously think America has a problem with thinking "I worked hard to earn my money so why don't they do the same". In most cases that's not true... and the amount of money you have doesn't have equal correlation to how hard you work, or even how well you planned your life. I think laws like this do highlight some really deep societal problems when you take away people's access to resources and then scorn them when they use unnaccepted means to gain access to resources.

It also seems utterly unenforcable. I don't know the wording of the ordinance but most homeless men I've talked to tell me stories of how they're trying to get home. I have no idea if these stories are true but some are quite fun. So, are you homeless if your house isn't within the Las Vegas area? Well, that would mean most tourists. They'd have to come up with a narrow definition since I don't think the whole "gut feeling" would work out in court.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
