Hello Everybody,
The Supremes have ruled that the homeless are free
to live anywhere they want - including the right to
sleep outside at night on public property outdoors.
You heard that right. The justices of the US Supreme
Court without comment on Monday let stand a ruling by
the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeal, thus turning away
an appeal in Boise, Idaho that would have made it a
criminal act for the homeless to be homeless, as the
right to sleep is an absolute right that can never be
taken away -
"The state may not criminalize conduct that is an unavoidable
consequence of being homeless -- namely sitting, lying, or
sleeping on the streets."
~ 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals
Got that? Homeless people have a constitutional
right to sleep on public property outdoors - including
if and when no other shelter is available to them.

Woody Guthrie felt right at home not having a home.
Rode the rails, or used his thumb, to get wherever he
wanted to go, whenever he felt. Until he couldn't do
it anymore due to illness (Huntington's Disease), at
which time the state had to find a new home for him.
This land is your land. This land is my land.
This land. All of it. Was made for you and me.
God blessed America.
This land, the same land that belongs to you and me,
is not for sale. We do as others before us. We save
it, so as to pass it down to our posterity.
