I feel badly for the kids doing this. They mean well and they want to work at a job that satisfies their desire to make a positive impact. But the system itself sucks- these kids are paid crap plus commission, so yeah, they're eager to try to get donations. That's not to say I don't cross the street or tell them I'm in favor of nuking whales and then using the bones to club seals when I'm feeling a bit peckish and in no mood to be approached. But still, I do understand where they're coming from.
And thanks to all who support musicians. My wife might be one of them out there after she arrives. :)
