So... confession time.
The spot I like at the SLC Main Library gave me a rather wonderful, yet terrifying, glimpse into the minds of those who profess they want to help reduce the impact and scope of homeless problems in town, last week.
They had a little conference, of folks from various support agencies, and several things that might help will come from it, but one thing I heard has me wondering if the help providers do as much drugs as the addicts they seek to aid.
Aid and Abet, if what that moron says comes about.
Look, I agree, to reduce the clutter that the families have to muck through along South Rio Grande on Hell's Block, you need to find a way to move all the drug addicts and drunks off the walls of the Road Home and St. Vincent dePaul's buildings, just to make the sidewalks navigable and safe, but creating a "smoking area" where the cops are not to enforce the laws about narcotics and alcohol usage ain't an answer. It's sweeping the filth under a magic carpet, and acting like you solved the problem.
Yes, i do listen, morons. I may not speak, but I figure any "Brainiac" who claims to really want to help the homeless would at least talk to the more upstanding members (e.g. the non-addicts and non-criminals) before tossing out ideas willy-nilly. If folks thought Pioneer Park can be dangerous at times, or any part of the area Hell's Block (which is really more than a block, being the whole of Salt Lake City's skid row, from 200 South to 600 South, between 300 West and 600 West, with various jerrymander sections used by the druggies and drunks spiralling off that area) wait until this idea gets implemented.
Look, the real issues are indeed the need of a place for those who make no efforts to move out of the Shelter or Missions to move on. Targeting the druggies will just move them into the city, spreading east, as they did last year, bringing the crime, filth, and attitudes with them. You do not deal with addiction by creating a place to use and OD, you deal with it by sensible measures, say things like laws and funding for mandatory rehab for addicts and drunks after say six violations, even if not prosecuted... which indicates a pattern of self-abuse and public endangerment. You do it by looking at targeting the dealers that flock around Hell's Block, and taking away the CI's protection, as most of them are freaking dealing shit, feeding the cops their competitors, or those owing them money, instead of giving them a free rein to rule that area.
This idea moves forward, you will still have the fights, the stabbings, the crime, the drug-use, the overdoses, all the problems, just in a place where less of it will be seen, and thus it can escalate faster to much more dangerous levels, ones that will require the cops going in with guns drawn, not just a hand on the holstered sidearm they have to use now.
Wake up, stop feeding the addictions. Yes, we tobacco (which, unlike the narcotics, is legal to use) smokers could use some places to smoke, in peace. But, dammit, stop jamming the narcotics users in with us.
And stop thinking we are just bums who use, no matter our efforts to walk away.
Another, even better target? Yeah, I have one. A goodly number of the homeless in the shelter get an SSI or SSDI check, a GA check, or other assistance. Target that group, which has the monies that fund a good deal of the drug use, and includes many addicts in it, at getting them into some form of housing, thus removing the "Millionaire" (as those who get no funds call these folks) factor from the equation. Yes, many of them have issues that prevent getting normal housing, or desire not to go in with the addicts, drunks, and criminals. Some of those issues are related to felonies they committed, so it locks them out of a vast portion of the housing available, even if those events were not violent, not repeated, and quite a while ago. Finding a better solution towards getting those folks housed will do far more.
Reducing the money down there might just make an appreciable dent in the crimes, narcotics, and other problems. But that answer takes time, effort, and something society seems to lack these days, intestinal fortitude.
And, while I'm ranting a bit, how about doing something more productive than tossing the mentally ill back into the shelters or onto the streets. Right now, there are *3* functioning fecal matter artists smearing their wastes around places in public. In locations that range from public restrooms in the downtown and strip to the UofU restaurants, to public parks, and even lately on the sides of businesses, and enhancements to existing and new graffiti. Sorry to those on the Left who believe in keeping folks as part of Society who are so disturbed to rehabilitate them, and those on the Right too cheap to spend the money to actually solve issues, but these are walking health code violations, and after three offenses need to be locked up long-term, for treatment, true rehabilitation, and never allowed to be left unsupervised afterwards, as their recidivism is too nasty to leave the "art" they preform in the public view, where some kid could wind up touching it, and getting very ill.
So, to those who think we homelss are stupid, lazy, and useless... yes, some are, but this boy just offered you up options for some. For others.... well, real, meaningful, long-term work that comes with a living wage might be an option. Just don't offer it to me. After three years plus of searching for employment, and being denied, I've taken up a new way out, and plan to carry it through. I will write stories, trying to sell them, market my e-books of poetry as well, and just be a thorn in your sides, politically, to remind you that some of your ideas smell as bad as the above mentioned 'aritists" works.
and thank God for that miracle, that he is the only one of himself, the world might not survive two of him, let alone doubling his crackpot ideas at fixing the world.

Just a rant about rude e-smokers
Been a while since I ranted here, but I have a bone to pick today, so I guess it's time.
E-cig smokers are a bunch of jerks and snobs.
This comes from an encounter with one yesterday, to total slime bag, who, despite Utah laws now saying you cannot use those devices anywhere that normal smoking is prohibited, had to walk into the library bathroom and use his stupid device. Must have been a total wuss, as it was a wonderful day, at that time, about 40 degrees on the F scale, sunny still, and very little wind. But, these dumb asses, judging by his behavior, not only deserve the right to use their devices anywhere they damned well please.
After I walked out of the can, refusing to be around idiots when they are doing stupid things like that, commenting to take it outside, he waited to get on the elevators later on, catching me on my way OUTSIDE to smoke my pipe in the DESIGNATED Smoking Area here. He created an unpleasant ride down, daring to accost the law-abiding person about how he could use where ever he wanted, and there was nothing I could do about it.
So, I did the honorable thing, advised him that the laws said otherwise, if I caught him doing it again, I would advise the library security of his violation of rules, and shrugged him off.
He had to get the last word, trying to get me to swing on him, I guess. Dumb ass, like I said. But most folks, even this writer, can be at times. Even after I warned him, he pushed, daring me to rat him out. So, I turned my back on him as I got off.... and here is where the arrogant punk proved he was just a bully and coward at heart. He loudly told me to "go get a haircut and shave, you hippie."
Yeah, he made his point, but when I spun and dared him to try, he had to scuttle off to the computers, probably to boast about putting a homeless guy in his place on some social media site. Me, I waited until today, thinking it over....
And here is my conclusion. Ain't it funny how everyone breaks some law, no matter how pure and righteous we all think we are? And why is it okay for one person or one group to break a law, but nobody else can do so?
Why do folks see the hippie, not that other dude, up on the walls of so many homes and churches?
You know, one thing I have learned, being homeless, I am in good company. Moses was homeless. Noah, well, I guess the ark might count as a home to some, but in my judgment, he was homeless. John the Baptist? Homeless. Joseph with that funny coat? Homeless for a while. Lot and Abraham, homeless bums like me, the former several times. Mohammed spent time homeless, that fellow I mentioned earlier about the picture hanging so many places? Trust me, the carpenter from Nazareth did his time preaching homeless.
I ain't a hippie, either. There is only one Grateful Dead song I've ever liked, and all the hippies claim that was the "sell-out" song. Don't do dope, or any drugs beyond my pipe tobacco and coffee (unless donuts and ice cream can be proven to be narcotic substances, which I personally would contest). And, unlike a true hippie, I reject commune life as ideal form of community living.
NOW, when the rest of you can obey the laws, all of them, you can criticize me for having to break laws to survive, as your society, and it is yours, not mine, seems to deem me unworthy of being a member.
Oh, and all you E-smokers? Get your lazy butts outside to smoke. Getting wet and cold is good for you, ya wussies. And if you can't take criticism about your double standards, well, I have a rope you can relieve yourselves on, just let me know when you need it suspended from some tree, no need to return it, either.

What determines your worth?
Had to post this somewhere today. Not happy about my situation, but like the judging of worth by a piece of paper even less.
Something I need to lay out there folks. I am both long-term unemployed and homeless. Never got unemployment as when I "resigned upon request", never got that in writing, so it was reported I "Quit without notice" which even in a right to work state, denies you unemployment benefits. That was a decision made by some chumps with degrees. So, when folks try saying a degree makes you a better person, well, you can conjure as to why I might disagree with that.
A degree is a piece of paper, issued by others who have them as well, that just says you studied, maybe actually learnt something, and paid for it, or had others pay for it. Under NO circumstance does a degree convey wisdom, mercy, or true intelligence. Don't believe me? Your choice.
Folks who measure worth often equate some piece of paper, be it a deed, degree, or stacks of cash or stocks as worth. The true worth of a person is in the three areas I spoke of. I may not be as wise as Solomon was said to be, may have lapses in my mercy, and not as intelligent as once showed promise to be, but I have a worth.
Do you really have the worth your think you do? Meet the eyes of the person in the mirror when you answer. They might disagree.

You are forsworn if you take the Pledge of Allegiance.
No, I am not joking.
Look, this is part of my trouble with America, and why I have tossed in the towel on the concept of America as a nation, and its society. The hypocrisy is driving me nuts.
You vow, mentioning God, to be One Nation, and have a class society, to strive for Justice for All, while promoting targeting of certain sections of your population and their crimes over the rest.
If America had any sense, you'd all pull your heads out and offer better to your citizens. If I thought I had a chance of leaving and making it in another country, right now, I'd take the ride offered and go.
Let's look at what a FAIR concept of "Justice For All" should look like. Just a moment. That's all. And what I am about to lay out is just the tip of the iceberg your nation (ain't mine anymore, ya'll kicked me to the curb and curse me for being a homeless scum bum) is getting broken up on.
Stop "Selective Enforcement". Either reduce your laws down to a lower number, or better yet, be fair, and go after those white collar jerks who break the same laws as the homeless and poor with the same level of intensity. And enforce the laws that apply to their crimes, instead of acting like those are such rate cases you don't need to.
Step Two, how is "Justice" served by a set dollar fine that hits a poor person harder than a rich one? Make fines a percentage of wealth/income/assets instead, which might make a hell of a lot more sense, and hit keep rich brats from breaking the law as much as they do, once they find out it might actually have hurt mommy and daddy's pockets enough that there will be severe consequences. And don't lie to me about kids not being kids, and rich kids never get in trouble. Hell, they do it constantly, knowing their family will bail them out or better yet buy off the crime from ever showing on their records.
Same goes for companies. Making a fine based on the company, as well as the impact of that crime, might let a small company survive criminal actions by its employees as easily as a big corporation, and make the big boys fear breaking the laws, as they would now face real fines that hit them enough to end certain policies and procedures they never should have done anyway.
Yeah, I've been thinking. Not that America will listen. You all screwed this up, I'm just that little voice out here in the wilderness, pointing it out. You fix it, I'm tired of your crap and cleaning it up.
That is all for this week. I'll be back later in September to razz you idjits some more.

Where to go? Hell for most.
One thing I am learning, since being homeless, is for every hand to help up, at least a dozen feet lash out to kick you back down.
Everyone seems to like having folks worse off than themselves. And they like keeping it that way, lest they become the bottom of the food chain.
Today, I began the full process of removing myself from the job market. Yeah, I've had enough, and got tired of trying. Of having hopes lifted, only to be dashed later when interviews come along, and mostly of not hearing anything on most job apps.
It took two years and then some to break my spirit, but at least now I can focus on writing, and say the hell with wasting time on jobs, being a slave to others for a pittance, and be a slave to myself for the same.
Yeah, unless I turn to piracy..... not that I'm any good with boats, but hey, at least I'd yell ARRR!, unlike most of the bozos ruining the profession these days.
So, if you ask me what I'm doing, I'll probably tell you, mind your own biz, or piss off, or some such. But I am doing things, but for me, not anyone else now.

Okay, we all know I have long felt we need to load some cargo planes up with that best known of all cattle by-products and drop in on Pyongyang. So what I am about to say is no surprise.
North Korea is not a rogue nation... they are wigged out on some psychedelic insane if they don't see the writing on the wall.
They need to look at what is happening in Japan real close, and remember the last time Nipponese troops set foot on their peninsula, cause they are provoking something big. Japan is trying to do a fast track change to their Constitution... to allow the SDF to end being just a defense for them only, but allies too.
Think about it... would you want to go up against Japan's tech wizards.. though it might tell us if Congress here screwed up on bowing out of the FX joint fighter project in favor of the F22/23 competition a decade back.
So, brace for a war, folks. North Korea has Japan irritated enough that right now, according to NHK news in Japan, their Diet (their Congress) is debating this issue.
My main question is what is the Vegas line on how fast they can pull off a "Go" order to delivering their own nukes... days? hours? minutes? My money says about 4 hours, tops.

Secessionists are damned fools....
Look, I never agree with what my government does 100% of the time. Just cause you lost an election is no reason to take your toys, go home and say you will change the minds of other folk by force though.
Quite frankly, those supporting secession at this time must face the music. They stand against the Union, are ignoring the Constitution and are thus both committing Treason and Terrorism against the United States of America. They can talk about it to their heart's content. Taking the actions they have is Treason, and if they try to use force in forcing the decision, they have crossed into Terrorism, and are subject to the full penalties of the Patriot Act and other laws passed by their own factions in the last few decades.
I can bitch and moan, I can say I think about a time that to defend the Constitution and its Amendments that I may have to rebel against the branches of government that stem from the trunk of We The People... but I never go more than grousing and try to remember to point out the ways that have to be expended before I can do such. Like making an effort to fix things, honestly and faithfully within the system.
But to start the actions they have turns my stomach. Look, these fools are not doing this to "Save our nation for God.." or any of the other cries they are giving. Quite frankly, they are sore losers, who want everything their way, and as they cannot do so now, "The South shall rise again" mentality they hold tells them its time for a Civil War to get their way. Its a power trip... "We'll show you who's boss." Or
Insert a big sigh here, then walk with me a moment, folks.
We can fix our nation's problems without another Civil War. Yes there are problems out there. Top on that list is folks don't want to compromise anymore, and extremists rule the main parties... All of them.
I want the damned fools preaching secession to think really hard... are you willing to set brother against brother again... to tear apart our nation, at a time we cannot afford to be torn apart if we wish to remain as the leader in Democracy and Freedom on the Earth. The crossroads we stand at is one with no paved roads, as we have already taken too many steps down the less safe roads of over governance and extremism on both sides of the aisle. I cannot even have a civil discussion about my thoughts on issues now without being called a moron. Or worse.
Face it. The problem is not me. Its all of us, me included. We have to learn to compromise again. To accept the fact we will not get everything we want, as long as the other guy does not get everything he wants as well. We do need to fix things, like the Electoral College issue. Like the fact that Congress gets to set its own wage and benefits. Maybe even find some way to return to some level of civility. And we need to do it soon.
Flame me all you want, call me a wuss, a damned fool as I called you. I don't care. If you act upon these petitions, and actually tear the Union apart, I will stand for the Union... For the Stars and Stripes, and by the Constitution. For now, I am still just a guy... but once upon a time, I took an oath... to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign .. and domestic. If you took that oath as well, you better think twice before signing on a secessionist. Especially if you said... "so help me God.." as part of it.
Look inside America. Its time to sit down and talk CALMLY for a change... both sides of the extremes have to give... or the Center will not hold with you. Or hold you up when you fall in the mud you seem to like throwing around.
Part of Democracy is not always getting your way. And the biggest part, is accepting that, moving on to the next issue, and stop trying to be a jerk about it. Grow up folks.
