To answer you both (rubecube and Cap'n);
The fact that the question and news story catching all the attention is where the responsibility for the removal of these homeless people lays instead of why the homeless are there in the first place (in a wealthy country choking itself on over-consumption) is sad.
The realization that as a society we are willing to overlook that little factoid and segway into this other question of legal responsibility, to me, is a sign that society has effectively failed.
Well, the type of society I want to live in anyway - the type that I would want my (future?) kids to be brought into.
The post was was just a quick little social commentary quip; nothing more and nothing less.
I was browsing through and it happened to catch my eye (especially as someone who has spent more than a few hours doing food drives and social advocacy here in Vancouver).
