When someone asked in a public forum if he planned to donate to non-profit organizations or the United Negro College Fund, Newton called his five kids and wife to the stage and said, "THIS is my United Negro College Fund right here." I'm the same way...gotta take care of me and mine first.Greg Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438156660197655652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36636498.post-7624913464721930372007-05-01T23:02:00.000-05:002007-05-01T23:02:00.000-05:00Dang, Kev and GP.

My tactic, which 98% of the time is true, is that I dont carry cash (I'll just spend it on junk food). The bus ticket thing came around when folks started to offer to take the "peddler" into a store and buy food for them.Greg Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438156660197655652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36636498.post-3334569631955715372007-05-01T00:27:00.000-05:002007-05-01T00:27:00.000-05:00Didn't you watch South Park last week?"Night of th...Didn't you watch South Park last week?<BR/><BR/>"Night of the Living Homeless"<BR/>http://www.southparkzone.com/episode.php?vid=1107<BR/><BR/>I really hope the guy was looking for money to feed some drug addiction. I hate to think that he can't find any way to get from Shreveport to Dallas. If he is from Dallas, then he must not have any family or friends that would pay for a bus ticket.<BR/><BR/>I just went to the greyhound website, and it only cost $34 for a bus ticket to Dallas. I've worked downtown for about 9 years, so I've heard the bus ticket story several times over the years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171861483148690343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36636498.post-65899023627505481942007-04-30T23:40:00.000-05:002007-04-30T23:40:00.000-05:00Two dollars?

It's not even something to mention, really.Kevan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147920478213250519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36636498.post-51589379960361744932007-04-30T23:07:00.000-05:002007-04-30T23:07:00.000-05:00I think you did the right thing Adam.

I usually feel like, if someone is in a position where they feel their best option is to ask a complete stranger for money, they probably need it more than I do. <BR/>Letting go of some change or a dollar of two probably won't change my life, but it might mean a meal or a job or getting home to someone else. And even if it doesn't, at least I can feel like I tried to help someone.Melinda Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619630802689152633noreply@blogger.com
