We Need To Stop Giving DTES "Residents" a Free Pass

No level of Government is tackling the causes of these issues, because they cant without running against the interests of their voter base.

Basically we've got a boat with a massive hole in it, and we're just ordering more buckets to bail water and keep it afloat.

The causes broadly speaking, are the economy, housing, and corruption.

The amount of psychological damage these three issues are inflicting on the population is not something that is being spoken about honestly, even in intellectual circles.

"What does Webster say about soul? All I want is a good home and a wife And a children and some food to feed them every night"

This is not only what all good men want, It's a biological need, and it's no longer a realistic possibility for a large percentage of men.

This is the most dangerous situation you could ever accidentally cause. It always leads to war... and not for land, or wealth, or any ideology... Only for revenge.

The problem is that in the beginning, the good people always become self destructive, it's the deviant minority that shrugs and says to themselves "If I cant get it by playing by the rules, I'll break the rules!" This is manifested by a growth in all forms of crime.

We cant see the forest for the trees, but it doesn't matter anymore, it's already burning, and it cant be put out.
