John - you think like I do. I want to help people who are in genuine need, but get angry at the shysters. I guess it's human nature.
I asked the ladies who run our local food pantry - how do you seperate the needy from the lazy? They told me that they have to give to the not needy in order to reach the needy. If you fail to reach the needy, you might as well lock the doors and shut down.

And I have great respect for people like Allan and his wife, for sowing the seeds of kindness.
