My Recent Experience with a Transient

Not that I think it is the best policy to be a dick to someone if you're begging, but from their point of view, I'm sure knowing that the hundreds or thousands of people that walk by could give less than 1% of their paycheck to you and you'd be able to live off of it, but they won't, is enough to drive you to angry desperation.

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm trying to say but I'm not being quite as eloquent about it.

I think it's kinda sad that we have people in this country who have insanely more money than they need, yet we have people who have to beg to survive.

Now, I'm not saying we should go communist or anything, and I'm not saying that rich people are evil either. I'm just saying, even if their money is very hard earned, there's no reason for there to be such a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. I understand that these people probably worked very hard to be where they are, but there should be a bit of a limit to it.

Had a feeling that would show up

Still, I wanna try to keep this serious. I think we have some good conversation going on here.

I have actually told one of the regulars off the highway on my way back that stands around with his sign that he could get a job for Model Homes (housing place around here that always has people standing aroudn holding signs on the side of the road) making 9 bucks an hour, and he told me to fuck off. Stupid lazy bitch, I reply to him saying that he could be making money standing around instead of being an ignorant asshole holding a sign saying he's disabled and can't do shit.

He may have taken that as you telling him to "get a job" in a derogatory manner like most other people do.
