Well said. I'm ashamed to have missed opining that point. That logic applys to so much more than just bums, though, as I'm sure you'd agree,

i get asked for change about 5 times a day, sometimes a lot more, and usually i just kinda shrug my shoulders and keep walking. sometimes i spare some change. i know they'll almost always use it to buy cheap beer, but oh well. if i were on the street and lived the way i see most homeless live, i'd want to be high all the time. it complicates the issue when most homeless (that i've seen) clearly have mental issues and addictions, which means they're almost guaranteed to stay on the street. i guess when i give some change depends on if my bills are paid for that month or not.
