A few years ago Howie Carr went out to the street to offer panhandlers a choice, a 10 dollar gift certificate to MacDonalds or 5 dollars in cash. He came back with all his gift certificates.
I never game them a choice! It was either come w/me to McD or Roy Rogers or whatever was nearby, or bye bye. I’ll just not enable another’s abuse, I don’t see how that’s helping a thing.
