That's stupid.

They probably want to track them to learn the migrating habits of hobos.

about as much good as posting news in the GD forum rather than the Breakin News Forum

Sorta like tagging free range cattle I guess.

I can understand the concept but I do agree.....they are still people too! Most homeless people are just people that have slight mental problems (or big ones), or just have disabilities! But their family, or friends never cared enough to take care of them, so they end up homeless.

I usually go downtown about once a week with my friends. Every time I go I take 2 or 3 pairs of socks, and any clothing I've decided I don't need or want anymore.
I'll tell my friends to go get some food or look in a C.D. store, and I'll usually start walking down allies and side streets.
You usually find people huddled up by dumpsters or air grates copming out of buildings A/C system (or heater in the winter). Sorta sad.
But...I like to sit down and talk to the homeless people. A lot of them are just so broken hearted and don't feel like has anything left to offer, but are too scared to commit suicide. It's pretty sad. They just love when someone actually takes the time to just talk to them, and not judge them!
It's actually very fun! I sugges you try it! It really can change they way you look at life!
