While I truly feel compassion toward the mentally ill, and feel like more should be done to protect them from themselves and society from them.  I also feel like they do not make up the Lion's share of the homeless population.  The addicts, derelicts, and fugitives from justice, I really have a lack of compassion for in general.  And, don't get me started on the phony homeless, the ones that do it as a job.  They are the worst.


On a lighthearted level, I just find humor in the irony that a Liberal Mecca like Seattle is combatting their homeless problems by fencing them out of where they like to live.

Addiction is a mental illness in itself, imo.
