I give money to panhandlers. It's not part of my daily routine, but every now and then, a homeless person will be in my line of sight when I'm feeling generous, and I'll hand him or her a couple of bucks.

Or maybe he'll just buy booze. It doesn't matter to me. I give him money because I can see he needs it. Last...
