With regards the beggars, it’s a catch 22, by supporting one real beggar, your perpetuating the act of begging with another faker. I have taken to only supporting the guys who sell homeless talk (hmmm, I see a related post brewing), at least there you are helping people that are helping themselves. At the end of every month, I usually have three copies sitting in my back seat unread. But hey, what’s R15? As far as I’m concerned, with the odd exception, beggars deserve nothing.

Sad news is, it’s an epidemic and requires a near zero-tolerance approach…!
