[stylist] question about philosophy

The last time I worked a meet and greet with a plastic jar for change and 
donations, guess what? Right across from us, working the same door, with the 
same jar was the "Make A wish" foundation.

I went over and put a buck in their jar, then they came and put one in mine.

I never once thought, why those lazy begging pethetic kids. And they didn't 
think that of us.

Especially when you are engaging those folks walking by with things like, 
"Want to buy a flower for Mothers Day? Or "We have ghost, pumpkin and witch 
suckers!"

Never once will yu ever hear, "Will you give us money?" "Can you support the 
NFB?" "Anything will do!"

"Will work for food!" Oh wait, that's the guy around the corner. A sighted 
one!

So I say this, anyone who has a problem with a plastic, jar sitting on a 
table full of informational litature and products to sell and equates it to 
a blind beggar, or who feels it being there is demeaning in some way, has 
issues in themselves, blind or not.
