Singapore has treatment for drug addicts. Fail for the third time and you get exiled to a small island off the coast. A couple of times a month, a barge backs up to leave some food and rudimentary building supplies and remove the dead.

You cannot have a civil society with people who refuse to be civilized.

"You cannot have a civil society with people who refuse to be civilized."

That was my son's position after spending several years in federal law enforcement. He said the term "homelessness" is incorrect in many cases, because it assumes a desire and capacity to live in a home.
