Hi
Great topic. I've often wondered the same thing. I remember awhile back on a nighttime news show "Dateline, 60 Minutes" type thing, they did follow some panhandlers. Some were real homeless people but most of them were not. I remember one guy they showed putting down his sing going around the block and getting into a new SUV. I think deep down we really want to believe these people so we give them something but unfortunately, I think most of them are not what they say they are.
