True North Advertisement

I saw an advertisement for True North nuts featuring a restaurant that served homeless people "with dignity."

Now I understand how the volunteers who run the place think they're doing a good thing. But I can't help but think if serving homeless with dignity really achieves the end goal they desire? I'm not sure if telling people "be homeless, its OK" reinforces good habits. Forget encouraging homelessness, it discourages improving their homeless condition.

I applaud the people for trying to do the right thing. However, perhaps they should take that energy and encourage good behavior by helping troubled youths graduate from high school.
