PS I think that's the 'complacency' that Paul was describing. We live in such an affluent society that most of us are completely ignorant of the degree of poverty that might inspire people to scavenge from other's waste.

Now the squatter I was describing doesn't 'need' to scavenge, but the point I was making was that the moral crime, if any, is the gross excesses of a society that is so fat and morally self-satisfied, that it not only wastes vast resources, but then collectively condemns others who might make use of that waste.
