[QUOTE="T. MIKE SMITH, post: 4324395, member: 44552"] My take- it's a sad deal that some folks just don't have the will- drive- desire- ability to just go to work like most of us. When they try it, they can't keep up- understand- stay clean enough or display social skills that may be needed. It puts sense into what Christ told his followers- the poor will be with you always. Why did he say that? I believe he was telling them, us, that we need to find a way to help them. I've been as bad as anyone- head off an exit and there they are working the corner. If I give them money, are they getting drunk/high with it? My choice is working with food bank that feeds these folks. I won't even pretend to have an answer for why it is what it is, and I've come to point that I believe I'm not supposed to do that, but just try to help them in a way that can do that. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
