Maybe they are actually hired by Obama and his stimulus package to get out in the field to do their research???

One of the 100 projects they singled out was a $180,935 grant from the Department of Health and Human Services to researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia who are trying to come up with a better way to freeze rat sperm.
With a single pair of rats capable of yielding 1,500 rats in a year, we wondered why anyone would bother to freeze rat sperm. Answer: You want to be able to ensure continuity of specific genetic traits. In today’s thawed-out rat semen, only 10 percent of the sperm survive.

You're more exposed to things when a place has limited health care going on. Yes, you are exposed to things in the air when you go out, but your exposure is greater in a place like a homeless shelter. If I went to one I'd except to contact something.............still goes with common sense. These people are educated enough to know that, aren't they.

Plus, if they are using the homeless shelters, what's this telling all of us

Would that be the two or four legged variety? Or both.

If you did your homework, instead of attempting to slam the movement by posting half truths or no truth at all... you would see that the space was donated to them and they have made repairs and done some work on the facility to help them out. What it is telling us is that they are working on giving back to the community.

Occupy Wall Street And Homelessness: Millions Spent To Evict Camps, While Cutting Shelter Funds

As cities around the country have swept Occupy Wall Street camps from their plazas and parks in recent weeks, a number of mayors and city officials have argued that by providing shelter to the homeless, the camps are endangering the public and even the homeless themselves.
Yet in many of those cities, services for the homeless are severely underfunded. The cities have spent millions of dollars to police and evict the protesters, but they've been shutting down shelters and enacting laws to prohibit homeless from sleeping overnight in public.

Yes, lets talk half truths.......


From the link YOU provided...

Quote:
Amis said the task force is donating space for Occupy Atlanta members to stay, but added the protesters might help make some repairs to the shelter.

So what you said, is that the truth or a half truth to make you feel better about yourself?

eta: This thread is clearly about DC, why would you post a link to Atlanta?

Are you serious............they're fixing up the shelter for people to sleep(people meaning protesters) then, from your article..................

Amis said the task force is donating space for Occupy Atlanta members to stay, but added the protesters might help make some repairs to the shelter.

KEY WORD: Might...........they've done nothing yet...........like you said, do your homework!!
Quit trying to make these people out to be community helpers. Community helpers get it done, not think about it.

Then notice how the shelter is donating to these ungrateful kids, did you watch the video, the lady said, "they won't even share a cup of coffee, with the homeless."

Not to change the direction of this thread but the last time I was in the Court of Two Sisters restaurant in New Orleans, there was a big rat (a rodent I mean) on the tree limb above our table. The waiter knew him by name.
