I think the exemption only extends to guys who claim to have a connection with God. Those homeless guys are the saints that we should think of differently. Here in DC that is about one out of three guys on the street. In fact I handed a George Washington to a guy the other day who was quoting the Bible so convincingly I almost let him put his hand on my head to save me. India may have a system that works for their homeless. If calling yourself a holy man lets them eek out a living, it may be better than what we have here. We treat our homeless really poorly and pretend they don't exist. I can't believe how many are homeless in the DC area. --- In [email protected], Sal Sunshine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mar 9, 2007, at 9:31 AM, authfriend wrote: > > > The personal dig aside, Offworld makes the point > > (which Barry chooses, of course, not to address, > > because it refutes his and Curtis's position so > > conclusively) succinctly: the implications of the > > term "homeless" in its common usage simply don't > > apply to Guru Dev. > > > > Another way of putting it might be, "Home is where > > the heart is." > > Sure, Judy, and the fact that a number of people living on top of > grates in DC say they like "their neighborhoods" must mean they're not > homeless either, right?
