11. I must have a calloused heart...

Dec 2014

I refuse to give a dime. I feel like we are enabling scam artists to multiply along our highway on-ramps, exits and on our sidewalks. I'm sure there are truly needy people out there, but there has to be a better way. I dare not writ any more, because I know the trolls will come out of the woodwork on what a heartless, evil SOB I am. I donate in other ways, and I'm unable to donate much in any case after my basic necessities are met with my fixed income.

This video just seems so wrong in so many ways.

(We'll see how long I can leave this post up before the trolls jump all over my post.)
