You are not alone Catman, there are several members here at PC who, like you are homeless. We would be also homeless, except we atleast have a camper to live in, and due to a wonderous individual who paid for our fuel to get to Florida, from the cold north. I have met a few and have seen many people here in Florida, who are living in tents, cars, vans, whatever they can find. I even see them riding around on old bicycles with everything they own strapped to them, riding off back dirt roads towards dusk to find a place to sleep for the night. The bugs and humidity are awful, but it sure beats freezing to death. Unfortunetly in the state of Florida, a person can not get cash assistance unless you have minor children living in your home. But we were able after being here for 4 months to get Food Stamps.

One of my biggest peeves is not being able to understand the greed that seems to dominate the world. I am a true believer, that every person in the world should be entitled to have food in their bellies, clothes on their backs, a roof over their heads, education and health care.

So I guess my next question is....How do a handfull of us so called "crazies" change our world for the better?

I also have a problem understanding, why with all the empty and vacated properties, people just don't go and become squatters in them. Maybe if enough people did, the govt wouldnt be able to arrest them all, because of lack of man power, jails and hospital beds available, and would eventually through their hands up in the air and say "let them have it".

Maybe communes started by the homeless masses, in vacated buildings/houses/farms, might be a start....idk....Im frustrated too. Good Luck, and keep us posted.
