[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 399982, member: 3444"] Uh, ya think? :rolleye: Totoro's observations hit it on the head. People just don't want to deal with it! It's like the homeless situation in my state. Unless you live in the urban cities where the problem confronts you every single day, it's "out of sight, out of mind." And if a solution or program is created that brings these people into other communities, you see a similar NIMBY attitude and people get pushed away. Just goes to show you how much work still needs to be done to help these special populations. Maybe that's the problem. They are looked at as a POPULATION, as if they are separate from the whole, when in fact they are your neighbor, your coworker, your child's classmate, your relatives. It all comes back to the stigma that is still fostered in every sector of our society. [/QUOTE]
