Actually, I remember once being asked for a dollar for a beer by a bum in New 
York (this was back in the early 90s before Times Square was turned over to 
Disney). I was so impressed by his honesty that I gave him the money. 
Otherwise, I never give money to street people. Most of the ones here are 
gypsies and are quite organized. Not quite mafia, but crime is involved, 
especially in the trafficking and treatment of the small children that 
invariably accompany the beggars.

Not a cent from me to these people.

Cheers,
Nathan
