T...Once upon a time, there were no homeless people. The people lived in groups with there families. Then a drought came, or whatever, they picked up and moved elsewhere. Some other group, moved elsewhere too, and they started fighting over the available vegatation, water supply, animals to kill, for clothing and food. The winner got to "own" that little piece of earth. Then someone decided certain people could "own" land. You either did what the Kings, Queens, Pharoah's said, or it was Off with your head. Little has changed since that time, just got "civilized". Larger areas of land got "owned", they became "Countries" and more sophisticated types of Kingdoms were born. If no one owned land, there might not be any homeless. An able bodied person could pick an unoccupied place, pitch a tent, build a log cabin, grow vegatables, raise chickens. They could make their own "moonshine" if so inclinced, their children could help perform the work. Of course if one wanted some modern conveniences, like television or Internet, one would need, ah, money. So right back to square one.alycecloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780458592803844709noreply@blogger.com
