Of course a pair of shoes ain't going to do it, Skip. When Saint Martin gave half of his cloak to a beggar he left the man still a beggar. That is the Human Condition eh? What you seem to be saying is that you should never be kind to anyone because your act of kindness won't sort out their life. I suggest you follow the Reverend Sidney Smith. 'Trust in God and take short views.'
I think you are pissed off because a lot of lefty people like this. But consider. Such liking attacks their leftihood. A true leftie, like George Bernard Shaw, a notorious tightwad, leaves all charity to the state.
A man asked me for money in the street. I asked him what he would do with it. 'I won't lie to you, sir. I shall go to that pub over there and drink to you with it.'
I gave him the money. Wouldn't you?
