This is an opinion letter. We have had many letters to the editor with demoralizing statements about the homeless.

I hope that she will rethink her position. They are our homeless. They are someone's brothers, sisters, friends, mothers and fathers. And yes, some of them grew up in Santa Cruz and in countless other cities. However, they are here now and they are all people who are worthy of care and love.</p> <P>It is easy enough to demonize someone who is different than ourselves, to be afraid of the unknown. It is harder to take action to make things better. Change comes when someone cares enough to reach out and make a difference. To treat every human being with respect and dignity is a basic tenet in many of the world's religions.</p> <P>We need to move past labels of "us" and "them" and embrace the human spirit that binds us all together. Only then will positive change make the world a better place for all of us.</p> <P><SPAN class="lettersender">Ellen Hilgersom</SPAN></p> <P><SPAN class="lettercity">Capitola</SPAN></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CD7612F2-62A9-4779-834C-344082DF3397/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
