I TOOK THE BUS, LIKE THE REST OF THE HOI POLLOI
IT WAS AN INTERESTING RIDE, WATCHING PASSENGERS WHO WERE FULLY FUNCTIONAL, YOUNG,
SEEMINGLY KIND, NOT SEEMING TO BE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF TWO PASSENGERS, WHO,
DUE TO MUNI'S LARGESSE OR NOBLESSE OBLIGE, WERE ABLE TO GET ON DESPITE THEIR SEVERE
DISABILITIES, PASSENGERS WHO WERE EVEN HELPED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THEN I THOUGHT, REMEMBERING THOSE HARSH LAWS ENACTED BY THIS SAME SEEMINGLY HELPFUL CITY, OF THOSE LAWS THAT EXIST ONLY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANY HOMELESS PEOPLE
AROUND, TO SPOIL THE 'TOURIST EXPERIENCE'
WE DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO STOP IF THEY LOOK LIKE THEY NEED REST, WE ELIMINATED ANY
BENCHES, THEY MAKE YOU GET UP FROM ONE AT ANY PARK AND TELL YOU 'GET GOING',
NOT TO MENTION MUCH HARSHER LAWS AGAINS SLEEPING, EATING, URINATING, OR EVEN STOPPING
IF YOU LOOK OLD OR HOMELESS, (WHAT EXACLY DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?) THE ONLY THING YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO IN THIS CITY, IS DIE ON THE STREET, SINCE THEN THAT CAN'T BE HEPLED
SO, I HAVE TO ASK, IS MUNI SO OBSEQUIOUS, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE, OR THEY
ARE COMPELLED BY SOME OBSCURE LAW? YES, IT'S THE SECOND THING
THE POLICE'S AND THE GENERAL POPULATION'S EASE AND EFFICIENCY IN DEALING WITH THE
'UBERMENSCH' CROWD WOULD ASTONISH ANY NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP GUARD, AND HERE,
UNLIKE NEW YORK CITY, THERE ARE NO SUBWAYS WHERE THE PERSECUTED CAN GO HIDE,
SO I GUESS, AND IT'S A VERY EDUCATED ONE, THEY DIE ON THE STREETS, SINCE THE
SHELTERS NUMBER AROUND A FEW FOR SHOW, READ NONEXISTENT, AND CRUEL TO BOOT, IN THEIR
WHIMSICAL METHOD OF SELECTION OF WHO GETS TO STAY AND WHO MUST GO
WELL, IMAGINE WHAT THOSE REFUSED FEEL LIKE, IF YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO DIE, ON THE STREET, AND IMAGINE THE SHIT THAT HAPPENS, ANCILLARY DAMAGE, I GUESS, TO THOSE SADLY MISTAKEN FOR A 'CRIMINAL ELEMENT' WHEN AGE IS THE CRIME WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
SHAME ON YOU, SAN FRANCISCO, FOR SUCH HYPOCRITICAL ATTITUDES, TOUTING YOURSELF AS
ENLIGHTENED, WHEN YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FUCKING 'KAPO', BETRAYING YOUR OWN
