Boozer: I don't hate you at all.  In fact, I admire the strength you have shown in dealing with a life full of challenges which most of us can't even imagine.

  I, like you, condemn the scammers who prey on people's generousity and kindness.  Those scammers come in many different forms, and, yes, some of them are out on those streetcorners making a pretty good "living" on other peoples' kindness.  Some are running churches, some are running charities, some have been respected businesspersons (hello, Terry Shockley), and so forth.  However, I don't condemn all churches, all charities, all businesspersons or all  panhandlers.
