How come no one has ever written a fic where Ryoga is on his 
merry way and makes a family homeless or even kills someone with 
the collapsing rubble?  If they picked on other series as much as 
the did on SM about things like this, I could let it slide.

This is a pretty good idea. Anybody done this yet? Any idea this 
good should have been done already (with all of those great Ranma 
fics out there, there must be one like this).

I can't remember who wrote it, but do recall seeing a story where 
Happsodai accidenty destroys the boxes which a homeless girl was 
using for shelter.
  

2) The Senshi attack first.
Wrong, wrong, WRONG!  The Senshi attack a Yoma when its draining
energy from humans.  So, even if the Yoma are living things, it 
comes down to a matter of destroying one life form, instead of 
letting it live and kill others by its very presence alone.

I don't really watch the show, but does the energy draining really 
kill the people, or weaken them a lot, or what?

I was under the impression that it just weakened them a lot. A few 
fanfic's mention that people recover from draining after a few days, 
but I'm not sure if that's got any basis in the source material.
