Redtail, You sound like a very warm hearted, generous person. But I think your generousity is misplaced. Most of us come from humble beginnings. I was born in, and raised on, the mean streets of Brooklyn NY. Trust me, I know all about "Humble beginnings" I get "Warm and fuzzy when I give money to The Salvation army or at church or working in a soup kitchen or delivering meals on wheels" Or when my son tells my he just got home from doing a "Freedom flight' with a WW11 Veteran. There are lots and lots of ways for you to get that "warm and fuzzy feeling" without contributing to people that can get all the help they need without begging and endangering others. I hope for your sake that the next person you hand money to doesn't bite that hand. There are some very bad characters out there and you only encourage them by giving them money, thereby putting us all at risk.
