A good day

[pch1.livejournal.com]

So I knew yesterday was going to be a good day when I was able to walk by both Starbucks and Diesel Cafe without being approached by any of the kids repping Save The GreenPeace Children from Masspirg.  Then I started to wonder, why is it that these guys can so relentlessly solicit donations everyday, yet if they were to put down their clipboards and strap on a guitar and play for donations they could be ticketed or asked to stop for performing without a permit.

What's up with the priorities around here.  I'd much rather be passing by a street performer than a political missionary.

I actually complaiend to the HQ of Save the Children about one of their teams in Quincy Center recently. They were so aggressive, rude and self-righteous they were driving people away, taking 4 or 5 "no"'s and challenging you on every response before they'd leave you alone. Not the greatest approach to compel people to see you and your cause sympathetically.

I got a very nice response from HQ. Haven't seen the little buggers back. They really need a new coach/supervisor/whatever.

such folx get one polite "no", and if they persist, it depends on how good or bad my day has been what phrase they get next ;) it's performance art :)
