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 tend to say, "No thanks," and keep walking. These people plague the area near where I work, and they drive me crazy. If one of them had a guitar, and a box for change, I'd be much more likely to give them a dollar.

I do not like giving money to beggars. People who improve the noise of the city I try to give something to, even if it's just a quarter.
