sigh.

There was that article from a while back talking about how Bill Gates and Warren Buffet got backs turned to them in China when they met with millionaires to encourage philanthropy. And this is what happens when they try.

edit:

    The executive director of Rescue Mission said he was worried that people might spend the handout on drugs or alcohol. This pessimism (and paternalism) is common and understandable. But evidence from other countries suggests we should be more optimistic.

I don't know how to feel about this. It is true, but it twists my gut a little bit, that can't be how we view all homeless people.
