A War on Homelessness

by the way speaking of American values are we about due to start bombing some small country that only has a marginally effective air force seems to me like we're a couple of weeks overdue to drop high explosives on helpless civilians people who have no argument with us whatsoever I think we ought to be out there doing what we do best gang making big holes in other people's countries I hate to be repetitious but God we are a warlike lot you know we can't stand not to be [ __ ] with somebody we couldn't wait for that cold war to be over good we just couldn't wait for that cold war to be over so if you're going to play with that toys in the sand got flour that ties in the sand and why we're not invading some sovereign nation or setting it on fire from the air which is more fun then we're usually declaring war on something here at home you ever notice that we'd love to do that don't we we dove to declare war on things here in America anything we don't like about ourselves we have to declare war on it don't do anything about it we just declare war on we got a war it's the only it's the only metaphor we have in our public discourse for solving a problem is called declaring a war got a war on poverty war on crime war on litter the war on cancer the war on drugs but you ever notice there's no war on homelessness is there that no war on homelessness you know why there's no money in that problem there's nobody in that problem nobody stands true nobody stands to get rich off of that problem you can find a solution to homelessness with a corporate swine and the politicians could steal a couple of million dollars each you see the streets of America begin to clear up pretty goddamn quick I'll guarantee you that I was so I got an idea for holes you're gonna do not gonna do give the homeless their own magazine give their own magazine it will make them feel better for one thing that's a sure sign of making it in this country every group of this country that makes it and arrives at a certain level has its own magazine you're working mother magazine black entrepreneur magazine Hispanic business magazine in fact any activity any activity engaged in by more than four people in this country it's got a [ __ ] magazine devoted to it skydiving mountain climbing snowmobiling backpacking bungee jumping duck hunting shooting someone in the [ __ ] of the dart gun jerking off they probably have a magazine for that I'm sure I know they have a magazine walking walking there's actually a [ __ ] magazine called walking look 10 the new walking is out it's a good article putting one foot in front of the other getting their own magazine give them give the homeless no magazine you don't you call it better crates and cartons then when they can finish reading it they can use it to line their clothing that's a good sound business solution that's kind of after you get from a conservative American business major yeah let them read it when they get finished reading they can use it to plug up the holes and then piano crates they all seem to like to live in a good sound practical conservative American biz solution I'll tell you what they'll do about homelessness first thing change the name of it change the name of the condition it's not homelessness it's House lessness its houses these people need a whole is an abstract idea a home as a setting it's a state of mind these people need houses physical tangible structures but where you going to put them where you going to build them nobody wants you to build low-cost housing near their house people don't want it new we got something this country you've heard of it called NIMBY ni md why not in my backyard people don't want any kind of social help located anywhere near them you try to open up a halfway house try to open up a rehab center for drugs or alcohol try to build a little home for some [ __ ] people who want to work their way into the community people say not in my backyard people don't want anything Neera especially if it might help somebody else part of the great American spirit of generosity were always told about big generous American nation ask an Indian about that asking any and how generous this country is if you can find one you got to locate the Indian first we've made them just a little difficult to find or if you need current data select the black family at random and ask them how generous this country has been people don't want anything near them even if it's suddenly believe in something they think society needs like prisons everybody wants that right everybody wants more prisons that's the new answered all of our problems like a lot of [ __ ] up everybody wants more president Bell mark present but not here but why not what's wrong what's the problem what's wrong with having a prison in your neighborhood what seemed to me like it would make it a pretty crime free area don't you think you think a lot of crackheads and muggers and pimps and hookers are gonna hang around in front of a [ __ ] prison [ __ ] they ain't coming anywhere near it what's wrong with these people all the criminals are locked up behind the walls have a couple of them do break out what you think they're gonna do hang around check real estate trends [ __ ] they're [ __ ] gone that's the whole idea breaking out of prison is to get the [ __ ] as far away as you possibly can not in my backyard people don't want anything near except military bases they don't mind that doing gnarly like that give an army base make some happy white jobs jobs self-interest even if the base is loaded with nuclear weapons then I give a [ __ ] you say well I'll take a little radiation if I can get a job working people have been [ __ ] over so long in this country those are the kind of decisions they're left to make I got just the place for low-cost housing I have solved this problem I know where we can build housing for the homeless golf courses perfect golf courses just what we need plenty of good land in nice neighborhoods land that is currently being wasted on a meaningless mindless activity engaged in primarily by white well-to-do male businessmen who use the game to get together to make deals to carve this country up a little finer among themselves I am getting tired really tired I am getting tired of these golfing [ __ ] in their green pants and their yellow pants and their orange pants and their precious little hats and their cute little golf carts it is time to reclaim the golf courses from the wealthy and turn them over the homeless golf is an arrogant elitist game and it takes up entirely too much [ __ ] room in this country too much [ __ ] room in this country it is it is an arrogant game on its very design alone just the design of the game speaks of arrogance think of how big a golf course is the ball is that [ __ ] bag what do these pinheaded pricks need with all that land there are over 17,000 golf courses in America they average over 150 acres of peace that's over 3 million acres that's 4820 square miles you could build two Rhode Island's and a Delaware for the homeless on the land currently devoted to this meaningless mindless arrogant elitist racist races there's another thing the only blacks you will find in country clubs are carrying trays and a boring game for boring people do you ever watch golf on television it's like watching flies [ __ ] and a mindless game mindless think of the intellect think of the intellect it must take to draw pleasure from this activity hitting a ball with a Crooked Stick and then walking after it and then hitting it again I say pick it up [ __ ] you're lucky you found the [ __ ] day put it in pocket and go the [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh you're a winner no no chance of that happening gyorko and the plaid knickers is going to hit it again and walk some are let these rich [ __ ] suckers play miniature golf latin [ __ ] with a windmill for an hour and a half or so see if there's any real skill among them I know there are some people who play golf who don't consider themselves rich [ __ ] up and shame on them for engaging in an arrogant elitist pastime hey here's another place we could put some low-cost housing cemeteries there's another idea whose time has passed saving all the dead people in one part of town what the hell kind of a superstitious religious medieval [ __ ] idea is that plough these [ __ ] up Wow them into the streams and rivers of America we need that phosphorus for farming if we're going to recycle let's get serious
