Never lose that!!

I keep trying to break myself of the habit. I definitely spent too much time in Africa, where some little kids have to sing for money on the street and some people with deformities or the like are expected to earn money by begging. I know. I've got to stop. Ergh. Damn guilt. I know. I know. I keep trying to break myself of the habit.

I soooo do not give handouts to the people on the street corners. First, if they have time to stand there and ask for handouts, they have time to go to the unemployment office and look for a job, or hit the sidewalks finding odd jobs to do. And often those guys make more money standing there waiting for handouts from guilt-ridden peoople than those who work hard to earn what they make. Finally, handing cash to them just perpetuates their existence on every street corner. ARGH. Call me a hardass, that's fine. ;) And his "something to eat" mught just be a 100 proof liquid diet too.
