I don't doubt that there are a few enterprising dealers out there who have organized their clientele. But to say that this is what the homeless are organized crime gangs is wrong. It's like saying all the french are part of the gay community...

Just because of your experience "helping" the homeless and hearing what happens from outside the homeless community as a priveledged outsider, doesn't mean you know shit either. Go sleep under a bridge in a rain storm huddled around a fire with a bunch of worn out old bums sharing cans of cream corn some day and see what it's really like...
