If people want to get a tent and live on the hill taking showers at the Y, or in the lake why are they unable to do so? If people were allowed to do this there would be less debt. Who needs TV. The ideal life would be to come home from work, go to a restaurant or bar, and then go to your tent and go to bed.

Is there a law that you have to live in a home? BTW, I've lived your "ideal life," and it was actually pretty ideal!

There is no law I know of that says you must live in a home. I think that people who erect "tent cities" are often told to move because they lack bathroom facilities. BUt there are people who live in the woods, in RVs, in vans or even cars.

There is no such law. However, there are zoning laws and laws against loitering, trespassing as well as laws regarding access to and uses of various types of property, most of which is either owned by someone or under government control. There are also sanitation laws, littering laws, laws about everything and then some.

Next time I visit Greenville we will have a drink at Katie's Cafe or whatever it is called. And, I may sleep in the woods somewhere. The heck with spending money on lodging. That Days Inn by the Waffle House was a bit too far out of town anyway.

Living in a house, or living in a home.

Home is where the heart is.

Even if it's a trailer? 'Cause living in California, that's all I can afford.

The Liberals have re-introduced too many wolves into Montana to do that very easily.

The wolves eat sheep AND people.

They keep our forests clean.
