I read that piece of idiocy of Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson in the April 14, 2006 Times. With representative such as this it is no wonder the Left is often viewed as being 11 items short of a dozen. I have no idea what alternate reality version of Abbotsford H-C inhabits, but in the REAL abbotsford the Mayor and Council have take a giant step into the reality that is Abbotsford by acknowledging that homelessness is a pressing issue they have to begin to deal with. I would point out to H-C that as part of considering the many facets of homelessness the Mayor and Council will have to confront and consider the facts on drug use, addiction and treatment.

At this point in time it seems to me to be more beneficial and to have a greater potential for starting to address the ills oft he homeless and of addiction to salute the Mayor and Council for taking their first tentative steps into the real world of the streets of Abbotsford.

H-C might want to pay a little more attention to actual events and avoid looking as out of touch with events in the real world as he accused our local politicians of being. Although now that I re-consider , anyone who would use the word “gleefully” with regards to living on the streets and having to prostitute oneself to support one’s addiction is not only out of touch with reality, they have moved from the idiotic to the asinine.
