I bet a guy could make a pretty good living at it, even though I'm sure some really do need the money and aren't playing the blue collar role on the side. Dad said one guy was begging and a guy threw some change into his hat. The beggar takes it out and says, "wow thanks a nickel!" My dad stopped and gave him a piece of his mind for that. I mean, he was out begging for money and then complained because the guy didn't GIVE him what he wanted!

That's true. It's sad though when you see a beggar who's a beggar 24/7. I always feel so sad/bad when it's raining hard out and a homeless guy is sleeping out. Yeah - Berkeley is full of beggars, too.
