Fishbones - The Fox news comment was not aimed directly at you (I try not to take "too many" personal shots but sometimes it might read that way)...just a collective shot a those who form opinion's based on somewhat slanted and very often fact challenged coverage. As I said, I am one of those public servants with "feet on the ground" and my experience has been different than what people are writing here.
I meet once a month as a gov. rep. for a Board that is comprised of most of the homeless and social service providers located from south of Boston to Brockton. You are correct..a very underpaid and unappreciated profession and it certainly isn't their job to fight crime ;but these folks deal with those on the bottom rungs of the ladder everyday and there's not much they don't see and deal with regularly. Funny thing is, on that Board I'm not the most popular guy because many of these folks are zealots for their cause and being a bass slaying, bird killin, gun toting, guitar pickin type I'm perceived as somewhat right of redneck! Guess it all just depends on who you run with! Sorry if I stepped on any toes, not my intention...it's off to self excile in the Muzik and Grumpy ole Farts forums!
