Equality

[Jacob Segal]

>From today's New York Times,
Giuliani's Commissioner of Welfare defending the plan to tell homeless
people they have to go to shelters, or to jail.

"Whether it's a homeless person or someone who lives on Park Avenue, the
same rules aply . .  . . We're just simply not going to let children sleep
on the streets."

Anotole France was correct.  The law does forbid the rich and poor alike
from  stealing bread and begging and sleeping under bridges.
