San Diego Homeless People - Over 100 people of faith came out to a windy corner of the Community Concourse in downtown San Diego this afternoon. While many Christians celebrate today as the Feast of All Saints, and tomorrow as All Souls, the impulse for this remembrance is not just religious. It's getting colder. Even in Southern California you can die of hypothermia. Most of those die on the streets of San Diego don't die of hypothermia. Better to say that they die of neglect. Better to say they die of neglect, but better still to say they are sacrificed. Sacrificed to tax cuts, to welfare reform, to a class war waged by the rich. The remembrance was simple: prayers, songs, candle-lighting, the reading of names, the tolling of a bell. Those who died alone, October 15, 2001 to October 15, 2002.
