Looks like unbuzzworthy times have hit LC. This is not kool in the least, BUT the administration does not wants its students being reminded what a degree in music can do to someone.

Seriously, though, the administration has a responsibility to maintain LC's image. So they can only have people dress *like* their homeless (while being subsidized by their lamestream parents' income), NOT actually be homeless, or helpless, or even hemp-suited.

(Caution: the above statement is dripping in sarcasm--if you didn't already know that. This type of treatment is completely antithetical to the ethos of the college. Those "fascist" security guards need to be removed and replaced by student guards--or something. In closing: fuck, can LC ever do anything right?)

We need a war on homelessness not a war on homeless people.

@ Pinki

How do you engage in the "war on homelessness"? Where do you start? Do you ask each homeless person for the truthful story of how they ended up homeless?

Each person is held accountable for their own well being, however, I realize there are smaller percentages of cases of people who truly couldn't make it on their own resources and they need assistance if it is available.

There are missions set up to help those who really want to get off the street that got to homeless status by fuckin up in life and I think if those religious/NPO missions are doing exactly what they're supposed to do to help those folks, then that's all that needs to be done.

The homeless exemplify how people who need help are much less attractive than people who don't need help.

Liberal arts colleges exemplify how our society's first priority is helping people who don't need help.

Stop writing articles about homeless people that make no effort to contact or quote the homeless people in question.
