I am committed to the vision of a worldwide voluntary, cooperative social system that provides life's necessities - food, shelter, clothing, heath care and education - to all Earth Citizens as the basic fringe benefits of citizenship; in which no mandatory requirement may be imposed without the fully informed voluntary consent off all persons affected; and in which natural resources and social assets are shared fairly for the benefit of all. So mote it be.

Dale commented on the article |Storage units lack bathrooms and access to water. Many are unheated although some have electricity - most often a single light socket. It is possible for a single person to hide out in one temporarily, but you have to be very quiet and keep a very low profile. Long story short: in most cases it's not a viable survival option except in an emergency. For the cost you'd be better off investing in outdoor survival gear and camping out under a bridge.

Dale commented on the article |Shannon, you write that "...I wouldn't classify Blanton as 'homeless'..." - why? If you don't have a home, what else are you? You don't have to be out on the streets every night to be homeless. People who don't have a home of their own, whether owned, rented, or shared, are homeless. Calling Becky's van a "home" would be unreasonably stretching the definition of the word. This is an important point because it relates to the determination of the percentage of our population that actually is homeless - a statistic that is already skewed by the fact that many homeless people feel they must remain invisible to survive.
