Just A Couple Of Quickies

They (the real bums) are living down at Tiers 1&2 of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Those being Biological Needs and Safety. You don't get to "respecting the property of others" until Tier 3 - Social Needs, which gets pushed aside if it conflicts with Tier 1 or 2, the same way Safety gets pushed aside if you have to do something dangerous to fulfill a basic biological need.

Wow, nice! Learn something new every day!

Side note:

When I lived in Tucson, there was, and still may be, a Motel called the "No-Tel Mo-tel that catered to Tucson's gay community. It was actually a nice looking place, at least from the street.

It is still there. Along with a few other hot sheet motels. I am not really sure who they cater to now as the cops patrol the area rather heavily.

Makes you shudder to think what goes on in there.

There's one about a ten-minute drive from where I live. Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates. It's often used as an apartment for people who are on the state dollar but are sort of "in between" legitimate housing.

When I was a kid in Connecticut, there were ads on TV for a motel near the center of the state. Their ads were promoting the place as a "romantic getaway", showing off such features as their mirrored ceilings and the "love tub" available in some rooms.
I'm sorry, that should be the "looooove tub". (Along with 5 secs of video of a couple taking a bubblebath and toasting with champaign glasses.)

Anyway, near the end of the ad they mentioned "hourly rates".
That was usually when my Dad would start laughing.

Loove Boat! *... don't really know how the intro theme goes, never really watched that show*
"Oh, is this the one where God commands Abraham to kill Issac?"

Why am I unsurprised that you know Maslow's hierarchy?

Purple Monkey: Maslow's Hierarchy is a great tool for understanding people, including yourself. Other great tools are Piaget's stages of child development, and Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

I don't agree completely with any of the three, but they're very handy approximations.
