True, but... Wait. My point would have been stupid... Maybe we should just shoot them all? Or we could create "Homeless Island". It'd be an island somewhere in the pacific that we'd ship all the homeless people to. If they've been homeless for over 6 months, they get shipped off.

Or we could implement systems and checks and balances that would prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place. If we did that, then the homeless population would slowly ebb off to nothing in a matter of time. The problem with this is, is that people are too stuck on greed and the need for material wealth to do anything about it.
Wedge:
If someone didn't want to work so badly that they'd rather be homeless then get a job I'd give them a can of soup and a gold star because they earned it.
Homeless people are typically homeless because they're either mentally or physically incapable of getting a job or keeping a home. It's hypothetically possible that there's some people who might be homeless because they actually don't want to work, but I seriously doubt the number is large enough to even bother noting. Like 1 out of every 2000 homeless people or something.
Most people, even the ones who do not want to work, definitely do not want to be homeless so they suck it up and work. Because you know, being homeless sucks a lot more than going to a job you don't like. Being homeless is a full time job and all you get paid is tips.

If we name it "Homeless Island", we're really limiting ourselves... Why don't we call it "Undesirable Island" and send all of the undesirables there? We could send the poor, the homeless, the drug addicts, the blacks, the immigrants, the Jews, the communists, the homoloveuals, protesters.... The possibilities are limitless! We can start cleaning up American one street at a time!
Hey, why even bother with getting an island? That's just too much money. I think FEMA has plenty of death camps for all the swine flu victims, so why don't we just send them there?

Or we can seal off eastern alaska from the fishing and hunting western alaska and seal off canada and send undesirables there to hunt caribou.
