Should The Term 'Homelessness' Be Retired?

 There was an interesting point made on the Fox program, 'The Five', for yesterday....on the term 'homelessness'.

It was created as one single umbrella, and you could talk about various folks who fell under the umbrella.  The problem is....these were various groups.

There were the people down on their luck....the drug addicts....the nutcases....the people with zero job skills....and the people who were severally abused in their youth.

Each has a different issue and a different solution....so it's a waste of time to package them into one single focus group.

In some areas of the US now....you've got a 'Mogadishu-like' situation brewing....where it's not really the police that you need to come and rescue you....it's some lite-Army-pretender unit.  

It's time to crank out some new words to define people seem to drift around the homeless umbrella....and identify them correctly.
