Why is it that most people feel the need to lie to these homeless/panhandlers?  When asked if we have a cigarette, we say "I don't have any more." knowing full well we have several left in the pack.  When asked if we can spare some change, we say "I don't have any" or "I don't carry cash."

I've gotten to the point that I answer the question directly.  I can say "No." and not feel guilty about it.  Heck, sometimes if asked if I have a dollar I tell them yes - they didn't ask if I would give them a dollar.  :)

After four years in Gainesville I never give money to panhandlers under any circumstance.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?
