    With respect to the homeless woman, to contact the Coalition for the Homeless.
    http://www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/

    On two separate occasions I have seen the organization perform some amazing direct advocacy.

    There’s NO reason for homelessness. This country has SO MUCH wealth. If it wasnt acumulated in so many hidden trusts and financial holding devices.

    And if we just did not have to pay a private banking elite for
    the “service” of issuing our nation’s money.

    Homelessness and national destitution was all predicted with
    dead accuracy by many profoundly knowledgeable observers
    in the 1920’s and 30’s. We never listened, threw rocks at our most sincere and valuable intellects who tried to stop what has now almost completely occured.

    I contacted the colliation for the homeless, I am deteremined to get this lady help as she is in great need.

    The MTA actually has a division that goes around offering these homeless people healthcare and shelter and most times they don’t want the help.

    I saw the lady again yesterday and everytime it seems that she has urinated on herself.. it really is terrible. I am/ have been reaching out to a few organizations. I hope that they can help her/ I hope she will accept the help.

    Its also a major measure of the decline of religion in our city’s life
    that this situation is going on. With all the (tax free) wealth which
    religious bodies have, there certainly should be traditional
    religious organizations so greatly involved that such a human
    degregation and blight our city never exists. But the spin of
    everything today is that government or private organizations
    (always with a strong idoelogical formations) are the vehicles
    to help, but notice never eridicate, a problem.
