   Yes, I do know, which is why I mentioned those half-way houses in my   
   message.  I also mentioned my opinion, one I share with others, regarding   
   those places.   
      
   I don't think the government gave it any thought at all.  It saved money   
   and got the do-gooders-but-not-really off their backs so they probably   
   didn't care what happened to them.
