so you finally admit that there is a need for a shelter in Asbury Park. Fallacy of the Leading Statement. So in other words, you want some other agency, organization or group to open a shelter, just not the market street mission people? Fallacy of the Leading Question. =========================================================== JSRM supporters claim there are 116 homeless in AP; opponents say 25-30. The Zoning Board is still investigating the numbers. Tommy D. posted here that AP has "over 80 non-profits and 39 churches, all helping the poor." (#22217) My posts from various databases concur with those numbers, though I question the extent to which "all" are addressing the problem. The need for an additional organization has yet to be shown. IF there is a need in this city (not the county), we deserve an organization which has been thoroughly vetted on a number levels: top-rated, not bottom; one offering "A Hand Up, not a Hand Out" _http://homelesssolutions.org/aboutus.html_ (http://homelesssolutions.org/aboutus.html) ; transitional housing, not a seven day limit _http://homelesssolutions.org/aboutus.html_ (http://homelesssolutions.org/aboutus.html) . =========================================================== I feel like I have been dancing all night. With Whirling Dervishes? Pallas Athena is a better partner. She doesn't jump to conclusions or make leaps of faith on matters of lasting consequences. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
