Willie Baronet has had a haggling habit for a while now, but not with the types of people you’d expect. He doesn’t debate with hoighty toighty business types. It’s the homeless he’s after.
Willie haggles with homeless people over the price of their signs. When he happens upon a sign-wielding member of this society he inquires into the price he would have to pay for their sign. This changes the usual social relation of the situation. Homeless people are usually in the position of the un-empowered, of the beggar. Willie flips this social relation on its head, placing the homeless in a position with bargaining power because they now have something he wants to buy.
Having been a collector of homeless peoples signs since 1993, Willie’s gathered quite a collection. Willie recently shared his project with K.E.R.A. on The Story with Dick Gordon. You can listen to the whole broadcast here.
Here is Willie’s We are All Homeless Blog. There you can find out about the art he’s created with the signs, and some video’s about the events he’s put on to raise awareness.
We went downtown to talk to a homeless person about living on the streets, in a hope to gain insight into the struggles they go through.
Sometimes it is very useful and interesting to add a video to post, that makes your imagination process much more clear.

Hello dear, as a rule I never comment on WordPress blogs however right now I am afraid I absolutely have to do it. These days I took the decision to install the newer version of the Chrome browser and your personal blog doesn’t render properly anymore. Right now your sidebar overlaps part of the text and I can’t see it. I used to have the same problem with my herbal incense reviews site and I was able to fix it by editing the CSS code. Can you please fix it? Thanks! Please excuse my English, it’s not my mother language as you understand. I’m Spanish
