We have some pretty serious poverty issues -- as I'm sure a lot of other cities do. I just see these bums asking me for money... hell, these guys are coherant, capable, etc.. However, they're content to be parasites on society. I don't know what to do with those folks. I'd just about be content to tell them if they haven't tried to cntribute to society, society will stop contributing to them -- homeless shelters should turn them out and food banks shouldn't feed them. Starve and kill the cancer.

I think too many people know about "Ask and ye shall recieve" and don't know about "Seek and ye shall find"
