A surprisingly simple solution to homelessness: provide housing!

Scott Nowlin
When I first saw this picture, I had to wonder how many people have
looked at it and decided the dude doesn't deserve an apartment
if he can't keep it cleaner. 

This is a great and thought-provoking article on a saner and more compassionate approach to homelessness. If you've got some extra time, follow the link in the article to the Malcolm Gladwell piece from New Yorker on "Million-Dollar Murray." It's another eye-opener made doubly relevant in that it also points up the extreme high costs to society of a health care system that doesn't provide preventive and maintenance medical care options for those who can't afford it on their own. If you think those costs go away if they are not born by the government (taxpayers) in some systemic way, you are sorely mistaken.

  1. Did you realize there is a 12 word sentence you can say to your crush... that will induce intense emotions of love and instinctual attraction to you buried inside his chest?

    That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, admire and protect you with all his heart...

    12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Desire Response

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him try harder than ever before to make your relationship the best part of both of your lives.

    In fact, triggering this influential instinct is absolutely important to having the best ever relationship with your man that as soon as you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will immediately notice him expose his mind and soul for you in a way he's never expressed before and he will distinguish you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly understood him.
