I don't give anything to anybody panhandling. Here in Colorado we have syndicates operating on just about every corner. The have fake oxygen tanks and such. They use dogs to curry sympathy. But if you look closely you'll see a backpack next to them with sandwiches and water for their all day affair. It amazes me that they have the constitution to stand in the sun for hours but won't pick up a tool and man a ditch. Street musicians and artists get a pass. They produce something.
