Yeah, I missed another day yesterday. Sorry kids. It wasn’t my intent. Yesterday was a travel day for me, and I just let things get away from me a bit.
Today I am in Austin, Texas, the capitol of this great state. Great class, great students, wonderful discussion, and afterwards, some of the most aggressive homeless people on the streets that I have ever encountered. It was sad, really, but part of my reality is that I don’t keep a lot of cash on hand for handouts. I give to charities, and when I run into Lawrence to grab a pizza or some India Palace takeout, I try to prepare for some of the inevitable interaction I have with folks that are displaced, often discarded, and, in some very obvious cases, mentally ill. I saw one young man on the street tonight that was in a bad place, He was walking around fists clenched and he took a wild non-connecting swing at a coworker of mine. My coworker had his back to it and didn’t see it, but I had to pause and assess the situation. The young, disturbed man was just not right, and after I finished my discussion with my coworker, I went back to my hotel, and he was ahead of me. He was angry. He was half-naked. And, he was quite obviously, a danger to himself and to others. I was not overwhelmed by confidence in any system that thinks it’s a good idea to have folks like this unsupervised in public.
Don’t get me wrong. Given a choice, I would love to see mentally ill people living on the streets cared for and given the comfort and treatment that they need for their conditions. The problem is the money. It’s just not there. It may have been in the past, when care for the mentally ill was considered a higher priority, but these days, we have other wolves to feed. That “mental illness” wolf and that “homeless” wolf aren’t going to get much of a spot at the buffet.
But if you’re a billionaire concerned about the money going to taxes… well, that wolf is getting a spot in the front of the queue.

Peace y’all.
