Who are the hungry? What are they hungry for??

Sometimes you gotta wonder. What were they thinking? It seems that Dallas has made feeding the homeless illegal. I know that can't be totally true. That means no soup kitchens (helped how many people get though the depression?) No "Manna Houses" as run by Catholic Dioceses. Surely they are restricting only the unnecessary feeding of non-essential people on the street. Of course that would mean they have to define feeding and street and people and possibly even "the" again.


I have to believe George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (as well as all of the signers of the declaration) would have trouble with governments that make taking care of people illegal. Only totalitarian governments go to this level of extremity. And this is a reflection, not of the will of the people, but a perverse will of a government that is placing itself on the path of jeopardy.Look at the history of the world. How many revolutions were started by the full and content? How many by starving peasants? Do the math.... Feed the hungry, clothe the naked. Require all politician and other recipients of the public fund to be accountable for their actions and decisions.

Or let the people starve. Word of caution: what goes around comes around. You didn't hear it here first, that bit of wisdom has been quoted for millennium. And do we listen???????"??

We wanted to build our kitchen into a soup/industrial kitchen just to feed those who needed it more and we wanted to rerrange our property in the back to become a place for the homeless to come and take some shelter or get a shower but the city said no...it would hurt their image...I guess no one in the city ever had struggles

Well like I say, it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
