Bums have been prolific every time we have "touristed" in downtown Atlanta. We were there today visiting the Coke museum and Underground Atlanta and did not see a single beggar. I guess they were all camped out at City Hall. What better way to convince the council members to vote in favor of a panhandling ban than to fill their doorstep with bums!

Liberal versus liberal. Hehehehe. Sounds like red on red in Iraq.

I approve, but good luck. The ACLU will jump on this with both feet claiming first ammendment rights.

Wish they'd pass one of those in Boston. Problem is, here people love them and go out of their way to give them money. I always tell them it would be more generous to just give the bums a fifth of vodka or even some crack cocaine. Saves time for the panhandlers so they can get back out on the street again and contribute their own special brand of happiness to society.

"Atlanta passes panhandling ban"

Atlanta unemployment rate shoots up to 100%.

I saw that Bozeman on the tv news tonight. From the gut on him I don't think he goes hungry too often. Oh well, anything to get on the news! Maybe Je$$e will come to town now. LOL!

I will give money to people that put on a good street show. If someone takes the time to practice an act and give me some enjoyment, then I will throw them a few bucks.

There is a guy that always shows up at the ballgames here in St.Louis who I always try to remember and throw a few bucks at. He is a good spirited guy in a wheelchair who doesn`t have anything below the waist. I don`t know if he was born like that or what, but I always try and remember to save a few dollars for him. The kids tend to shy away from him, and he always seems to smile and tell them he is harmless. I always wanted to stop and talk with him but I am usually with friends or family who just want to get home. One of these days I am going to stop and chat with that fellow.
