@awl I would put cayenne in well before chili powder. Does chili powder not include other spices where you live?

@awl To be completely honest, I'm just happy that there is a conversation like that going on somewhere and neither of us was involved.

@awl It's also important to note that i attended high school in a more liberal area of Virginia, relative to the rest of the state, anyway.

@awl I have spent my entire life in states that were once part of the Confederacy, and I was always taught that the war was an issue of states' rights as much as it was about slavery. We were taught that the war was a miserable failure on the Confederate's side from the get go, that the South initiated the violence by firing on federal bases the Union had not yet surrendered in the south, and that the southern economy depended on slavery so they were concerned Lincoln would economically cripple them.

@moonman @awl oh, and we need to start more heavily penalizing panhandlers AND those who enable them by giving them money. Make it a $500 fine for giving money to panhandlers and send panhandlers to whatever sort of rehab they need or 3 months in jail, in which they attend some basic rehab classes and get situated with employment.
The problem with homelessness is part of a bigger problem, and homelessness tends to destroy areas where it is prevalent due to the crime and other property damage homeless people cause.
Either all that I suggested or let them build their tent cities way out of town, and quarantine them in it.
