Chicago Coaltion for the SELECT Homeless

WOW- this group of speakers made me really think about what the hell i am doing as a justice studies major.

I thought that we were about aiding all of the people and assisting the masses, without exclusion. The one speaker turned out to be the biggest hypocrite ever after having "hustled" her way through life to find Jesus and sobriety. When she said that they can chose to be sober in order to benefit from the programs i almost jumped out of my seat. My frustrations with this woman are the same many others share and are the reasons as to why little to no movement is occurring to solve the problem. PEOPLE LIKE HER ARE THE PROBLEM.

I ask how many of the homeless she felt are substance abusers of sorts and she replied in jest "all of them." Hmmmm, if that is the case, i think we are going to have a huge problem. Must be nice for her to have found sobriety and now reap all of the government benefits she is denying so many from receiving.
