Saddest thing I've seen this week

Lots of homeless in SF - too many... I saw one guy going through a cigarette disposal bin looking for butts, with the look of absolutely grim determination. You did NOT want to get between this guy and his nicotine fix.

The cops seem pretty diligent in making sure the homeless folk aren't breaking too many rules, but there are so many of them... I can't imagine what its like sleeping on the street. I'm at a conference where they have a ton of extra food - where does it all go? I hope not into a landfill.

A lot of these guys are obviously mentally ill - unemployable. Even if we had jobs for the sane ones, what do you do with the nut jobs?
