Where's The (French) Revolution When You Need It?

Come July 14 (Bastille Day) to Qcomedy at the new LGBT
Center in S.F....and see me start the next revoution,
in the guise of a stand-up comic. For more info:

<<
The problem is: There is no treatment, there hasn't
been treatment, and there isn't going to be any
treatment.
>>

All too true. There is corruption on every level: in
the streets, in the homes, in the social services, in
the city and county gov't. It all sucks, big time.

<<
But here's the one thing that never happened: Treatment
on Demand. It doesn't exist. It never has. It was never
funded. It isn't going to be.
>>

Quite correct. The streets are gonna get REAL nasty
very soon, and even MORE homophobic. Thanks, "Da
Mayor", thanks "stupid-visors".

<<
In 2001 and 2002, I worked in the San Francisco jails
with pre- and post-release inmates. The vast majority
of our clients were substance abusers. Once they got
out of jail, there were virtually no treatment programs
for them, and the waiting lists for existing programs
were huge.

I've visited some of these "rooms" that some were
"lucky" enough to get into: so filthy (roaches, mites,
rats), so dangerous (violent thugs living there,
running the hallways), so depressing, that even I (who
dread the idea of ever being homeless) would OPT OUT of
such a failed "program", and live in the streets. But
knowing how much homophobia is out there, I'd really
care not to go through such a horrid experience. In
fact, I'd most likely perish very quickly, if not get
outright bashed to death.

<<
There is, of course, the "shelter system," which means
that you play the lottery every single day.
>>

And if you're queer, or perceived as queer, then you
most likely would get bashed or kicked out...with the
faciliation of those who run these "shelters"; not just
from the virulently HOMOPHOBIC homeless str8 thugs.

What with our failed homeless programs, failed
protection of sexual minorites here in "Gay Mecca", and
no viable democratic candidate for the next presidency,
can you say:

"Civil War"?
