42. I give when I can
You give 'em money if you want, if you don't tell him to take care and move on.

Maybe they spend the money on drugs or booze, I don't feel that my givin. a dollar or 5 allows me to dictate how they spend it. Maybe they use it find their way to a shelter, maybe they get high for the last time before they detox, maybe they take the edge off by drinking a 40, maybe they buy a sandwich.

The ones that intimidate and bully. Many of those folks have mental illness and agin, not mine to judge - if they need something and I can help, not mine to judge their need.
