>>> Too bad we don't have that same line of thinking here in the U.S. Some folks who are too good to flip burgers, don't think twice about hitting the local food pantry.... They always tell me that they like to make the rounds since they can use the extra stuff for trading materials.... you know... gotta have those cigarettes and wine..... <<<

Oh yes, no doubt about it, we have certainly have more than our share of "human trash" to deal with in this great country (getting less great by the day though) of ours...

I remember my first time working in a soup kitchen. The regulars came by to see what we were serving, then checked the competitor's soup kitchen and chose the best.

<<I asked her how do they get everyone to work. Her reply was "If we don't work, we don't eat.">>

Reminds me of back in '96 when the "will work for food" signs were popular with guys holding gimme cups at intersections. I saw a guy with a cup and the sign, behind him was a grocery store with a help wanted sign in the window. I told him to look over his shoulder, he told me to perform an impossible sex act.
