Yes... another paradox. Time for change. Give,
give, give, but then after each giving a new bar of
giving is raised, so... more, more, more. But I will
say at least while they are eating, staying out of the
elements, and not walking around naked (oh, the
lesbian issues that would raise) we can focus more on
what might be more important - their behavior and the
underlying issues leading to these dilemmas. So...
maybe it's not a paradox, but a way to solve problems
that really have nothing to do with housing, clothing,
and food. Those would just be distractions.
