	Those who help the homeless survive feel sting of mayor's 'enabler' tag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Goodman called the "good people" in the room "enablers" who, by feeding the homeless sandwiches and giving them water, "enable them to remain homeless." His words hit homeless advocates present like a stinging two-cheek slap challenging them to a duel.
		But I have to admire Mayor Goodman and his willingness to speak the truth and be politically incorrect about the fact that so much of the "help" given to the homeless only enables the homeless to continue in their condition.
		Goodman is quite well aware that his city is becoming a magnet for bums from all over the country, just as San Francisco and Los Angeles did years ago.
