An afterthought, which I should include. Whilst many street people have unhelthy jabits, so do many working people. They still receive wages, and not food and clothing alone. Sotting infront of the television, or in the pub, isnt necessarily the healthiest way to spend a great deal of time, and one could argue that driving cars or taking planes isnt healthiest for our environment. Yet we do not judge or condemn,nor sanction these habits of our fellow man. The Catholic Church, who do give to street people, I think, aknowledge, that to pull out the weeds, whilst the life is still in the crop, only destroys the crop. That is to say, one cannot force bad habits out of people, because one will starve that which is good too. Everyone needs some comfort in survival, and street folk may resort to methods less ordinary folk do. Yet as adults we choose our path, and are judged before God, and not pre emptively by fellow man, if all is to be well, That Ends Well.
