Fascist Stae strikes again....
schuee:
I can understand your thoughts regarding the current government, they appear to be out and out control freaks.
A recent definition of fascism that has attracted much favorable comment is that by Robert O. Paxton:
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." (Anatomy of Fascism, p 218)
Though your comment regarding MC, :?

Well...for anyone interested I am a-political. So er.....now I'm just confused ;-) There was a time I thought I was a political athiest - but then I found out what an athiest was! <grin>

I agree with the government using empty houses for the homeless. Believe it or not there is enough housing for everyone, its just those that are privately rented are hard to get into. Once on the streets its very difficult to get off them, this is from experience. Everyone says "try harder" but it doesnt matter how hard you try you cant get anywhere. Hostels are few and far between, your in a catch 22 situation cos you cant get a job without a house and its nigh on impossible to get a house without a job.
If the house is empty then it should be used for the homeless. People sit there long enough and complain about these people being on the streets yet when a very good idea comes forwards to get them off the streets then everyone complains.
Also for those that say the homeless put themselves where they are, only a small percentage did, the rest are there through misfortune and generally no fault of their own.

Why? Surely it is my right to leave my house empty for as long as i choose without it becoming a government aproved squat.
Thrasher:
If you own more than one house - and leave one empty is the case in point here.
