Re: Who are those guys that collect money at the intersections.
It's my experience that when Government passes a new law it turns out to be just one more law too many. Last year Anne Arundel County Maryland passed a law prohibiting panhandlers and fundraisers at intersections. Well I got to tell you it had gotten out of hand here and we had beggars on all four corners all hours of the day. Get this, some of those beggars were parents and their kids begging donations for sports teams, band uniforms, you name it. Guess I'm just a cranky old senior, but in my day we used to sell services or products to earn this money. That's how much our society has changed, it is now normal to teach our kids to just go out and beg. No more in A.A. county and hopefully the governments in and around TV will pass similar legislation before I get down there. In case you are concerned about the folks that we displaced, don't worry they just moved one county over to Howard. Same folks, must be some good money in this--ce
