Those French hippies remind me of this bunch that come to Savannah and beg.They sport dreads ,nose rings,tattered clothes and are usually barefooted.Somebody was telling me they make so much money panhandling from old people that feel sorry for them,that they have bank debit cards and buy lots of junk food and beer with them.They usually hang with the local art students who think they're cool.
Junk food, phooey! They are probably making mortgage and car payments. We have some of these in NYC. Live in a rent control apartment on the Upper East Side or Brooklyn, take your tax-free cash, and go out with your friends each night.
