Criminy!.....you know what I meant .......... the war known as the "War of 1812" and actually the United States declared war on Great Britian on June 12, 1812 not 9/11/1811 And I don't see anything in my writing that said we "help everyone." don't know what you mean there. And no, I don't see homelessness as a major issue in the majority of the country. Have to have an address, yes, and the various Missions will supply that temporarily.
