I know, I know, this isn't the most PC thing to say, but if we here in San Francisco are not going to do a damn thing about the Homeless, can we at least make a rule that if you're in line at a corner store and if you are say, a normal, employed, tax-paying citizen- you get served first? I know it's kind of a mean thing to say, but there's only so many times one can go to a store and have to stand in line for up to five minutes because some tweaker's buying liquor and packs of cigarettes and is too messed up to count out his spare change before one starts losing his patience.

It's kind of like being in line at a coffee shop just wanting a single cup of coffee and having the guy in front order the double-half caf non-fat late. Except the person who is in line isn't talking to himself.

Wait, come to think of it, considering most of those guys are on some sort of wireless type phone thingy, it actually is the same thing.
