as well. While the story certainly shows a side that needs compassion there are stories of people out there who are just plain lazy and don't want to work. However, there are many in this country who would spend money on ridiculous items like sheets and clothes for their pets when there are people like John out there who could use some assistance. I am not in favor of regualar monetary handouts however. I would rather see free educational programs that can give people skills to help them start careers.
