Homeless individuals were invited to screen Will Smith’s new movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” at the mayor’s office in Washington DC. This was supposed to help them because it is based on the life of Chris Gardner who was homeless with his son until he worked hard to become a successful business man.

Michael Stoops, acting executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, agreed. “How Chris Gardner got off the streets, he might have lucked out and it might have worked for him, but that doesn’t mean that this one movie will change the lives of every homeless person in the country.” Still, Moses Alexander Greene, the spokesman for the mayor’s community relations office, said: “Hope belongs to everyone.”

That sounds like a good idea because homelessness exists because people are lazy. It has nothing to do with mental illness, lack of jobs or discrimination. The homeless population really needed that shot in the arm to get over their unwillingness to work.
