Panhandlers

Just heard about a piece that the local news was doing about panhabdlers and weather they made more money than us or not. I was apalled at the thought. I agree that there are people in this world not to say in this country that may be making a living out of begging, and some may not even be that poor. But to suggest that all the people who are begging on the street are actually not poor, is just wrong. I think that news has gone way too far (like they don't already). Beggars are people who really can't fend for themselves, most of them really are down on their luck. Would you like to go out and start begging eve if you knew that you will make enough money to support yourself.

I have heard a lot of people say this to beggars, "get a job you bum". Well I ask if he/she were to ask you "Yes, I would like to get a job, would you give me one?" I think that a lot of people won't be able to answer that.

There are so many times that I think about things that I can't so anything about. It really makes me feel helpless, and very sad
