Are homeless people really only homeless for a greater good? Are they really just "going green" and trying to live a "sustainable lifestyle" away from the constraints of our modern society?(IE: technology, ipods, ect).
I think this is very possible. Lets examine the evidence shall we? For starters, they eat food people throw out that is still "perfectly good" (via dumpster diving), they are not wasteful, and they do not use "electricity" or pollute the air with gas cars. They are one with nature for they sleep on park benches and on the ground, sometimes in sleeping bags they have had for ages (who uses sleeping bags for real?). They don't care enough to put money into the economy by buying new clothes (or anything) there are "better things to worry about. Such as "where am I going to find my next meal and in which dumpster?". Wonder if these "homeless" people read Thoreau and think "this guy really gets me". Think I might just "hang in the forrest/woods/park for a while" and "take in the beauty of my existence." I think they are really just intellectuals who are grossly misunderstood. In this economy however, it is hard to even go green these days and live like the homeless. Especially when real homeless people just "show up" with their cardboard signs acting like they actually want a job a
They are just making everyone look bad and feel sorry for them when trust me, these people chose to live this way.
Also think that homeless people might be the original hipsters. I mean look at their fashion sense. Its cool to look Hobo Sheik and look like you haven't cut your hair/showered in weeks. Its also cool to drink 24 ounces on the street corner these days. Ironic sweat shirts is their forte as well as "flannel".
Pretty sure Marc Jacobs just looked at homeless for his "look" via 1990s Marc Jacobs. Remember Grunge? I sort of do. Grungy.as in filthy..as in grungy filthy dirty ahead of their time homeless. Thus..its hip to be homeless! Also with the dumpster diving lets be honest, only really cool anarchist freegans are into that, and couch surfing, which are parallel to this new going green and being homeless trend. And what's cooler than a freegan these days. Probably just the homeless, which is the epoch of what they wish to reach in their "search for un-materialized sustainability".
In summation, if you really want to get a head start on the new hip current trends, I'm think its gonna be homeless. Go green, dress like you don't care, eat out of the trash and stick it to the man! You'll probably be the coolest person you know, but you won't talk about it.
