Sometimes when you try to do the right thing, the other person just doesn't
want to play along.
It's a moral dilemma any time we go into Chicago and come across what
appear to be homeless. Are they truly homeless? If I give them money,
will it make a difference, or will they spend it on cheap booze or drugs?
Or, as I've seen from time to time, if they realize the pickings are slim
on a particular corner, will they go to their nice car and drive off to
find a more lucrative spot?
It's a struggle.
