We like the homeless, and we loathe talking too much shit about folks without homes because (arguably) it's like kicking a dog while it's down. Homeless people not only fill out the other end of the bell curve of living the capitalist lifestyle (thanks, guys!), but they're also the eyes and ears of this city when it comes to reporting crimes and seeing brutal things go down in neighborhoods where most of you would never dream of going.
They also stick up for the city of San Francisco and its alleged loopiness. Take, for example, the above image and what Jameth witnessed as it went around Civic Center last night:
OK. This shit was hilarious. First of all, the truck circled around for hours and gas is at nearly $5/gal.Second, all this same-sex ruckus awoke the crazy folk that lounge around Civic Center all day. We witnessed one of the crazies run into the road and stand in front of the truck, much like Tank Man. HILARITY.
I don't care what people say about the crazy homeless people in SF. They all hate these bigots and started picking fights with all of them because they had nothing better to do and nothing to lose if they got arrested for assault/battery. It was awesomely amusing.
Brilliant.

three cheers for the homeless, most down to earth people with the biggest hearts walking the streets of SF.
Hug a homeless today!
Hug a Homeless Day. June 17
I live right @ Civic Center & have to say most of the homeless are friendly & nice (with a few exceptions). It helps to have a VERY friendly dog like I do: Fred "Freddy Mercury" - alot of them, in spite of their substance abuse, remember him/ us. They're harmless & if they were harrasing the Haters that were out in full force yesterday good for them!
I always think of my fav. ol' disco song: 'There but for the Grace of God' (Machine)

The Insanity Offense
By E. Fuller Torrey
Norton, 265 pages, $24.95
Having been physically assaulted by a homeless guy (and never a member of the God Hates Fags ministry, even though they hate me), I'm a bit ambivalent on the issue. However, once in Berkeley a driver ran a stop sign and almost hit me. When I waved him on, melodramatically, he started yelling at me. Unlucky for him, the Berkeley homeless guy on the corner absolutely unloaded a flurry of profanity on the driver. To the rescue, indeed.
Yeah, everyone feels like they have a vested interest in the city, but the homeless *own* the streets. I wouldn't allow someone to drive that truck through my living room either.
It's great that people are willing to freeze, starve and die on the streets for our purposes. Go us!
Who cares , there are a lot more BIGGER issues going on than Gays getting married , why are we wasting so much time on this. Go get married be happy like everyone else.... at least the 51 % who do not get divorced
