You just have to wonder.

I just have to wonder about some people. John Williamson of Plano is upset with Bob Sweeney who wrote a letter to the editor in which he said that the answer to homelessness was not jobs and housing but recovery.


John says that, absolutely jobs and housing are the answers. He says what Sweeney said is a slap in the face to him. After all, he's only been homeless and looking for a job for 16 years. But it's not his fault -- it's the unjust hiring practices and the lack of labor law rights in this country that are to blame. With that mindset, if John got a job or a house, how long do you think he'd keep it? I think he just proved Mr. Sweeney's point.
