It makes me uncomfortable to think that if I happen to be sitting out on
a curb looking weird and unkempt I could be forcibly picked up and
injected with psychoactive drugs. So there are people who like
themselves as they are, are happy as they are, and are not hurting
anyone.. (You know what? This is more than I can say for a lot of solid
citizens. ) Why not leave them in peace? If disease is spreading more
quickly amoung them than amoung the general population maybe it's because
they're all crowded into one little section of the city where public
toilets aren't available.
