I took the above photograph of a fountain in Civic Center Park this past Saturday night at the annual Taste of Colorado. For 4 days each Labor Day weekend it is one of the most popular destinations in Denver, just as the People's Fair is the big event in Denver the weekend after Memorial Day. As the photograph shows, it is a very pretty area of the city, but except for these events, the park is mainly populated by the homeless. I have no idea where they go while these events are taking place, but I am sure that this morning they have already found their way back there. And is Denver doing what it can to help the homeless? I personally believe they are doing all they can, but the problem is so massive that it will never be enough. I believe this is true for most of the cities in this country. Something to think about when the Federal Government starts to build a wall across the Mexican border that will cost billions and billions, as Carl Sagan used to say.
