“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in
poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor,
the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for
them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
― Benjamin Franklin
Now get to work and quit worrying about what people might think. I am sick and tired of downtown Fort
Collins being taken over by transient type that don't go to work. And you and I both know that they can work.
Get them the hell off the corners begging for money. It is not doing them any good to allow this to happen.
Start thinking about those that spend money downtown. Actually, I have given up and even spending my
money downtown. It's a joke.
Now, get to work and do something about it and let the police do their job.
