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 work for a group that solicits donations, but never ever gives out stuff like that (we believe in spending the donation on, y'know, the cause) and people complain about it all the time! I've had several people refuse to give another donation for the explicitly stated reason that we "didn't give them anything" I usually hope that they're saying it just to get rid of me because otherwise I find it pretty silly.
