3. If your political riding has homelessness

then it is sick.

I'm not talking about your political riding having a few idiosyncratic characters who are technically "homeless" by choice. I'm talking about your precinct having a particular official category of "the homeless", however recognized or named, of people who are "homeless" against their will, their better health, the better health of their children, family, and community.

In particular it's sick when newscasters gloss over the plight of "homeless children" in a list that includes fans of football games, who in their plight need handwarmers. That's the wickedness I've seen, on the MSM.

That's a kind of sickness that has no cure. That such newscasters are promoted, get ratings and highest pay, shows that the American Dream is over, dead and unburied, and something totally wrong has taken its place.
