Its the practical Overton window.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

That's weird. Over here, the public libraries are the last bastion of freedom of speech. You can look at anything with a library account (except XXX stuff). The homeless guys spend most of their days in there researching various conspiracy theories.

The geography of the homeless in Colorado Springs is interesting. The old Catholic church is in the  middle of town, so that's where the Catholic Charities office is. They organize the soup kitchen, which is across the street in one direction, next to the old formal city garden--now the central homeless camp. Across the street in the other direction is the public library, where anybody can go during the day to sit in an easy chair and read the newspaper--or log on and do Internet research.
