With regards to Christmas, I wish all the kids wanted was a fucking Cabbage Patch Doll, but unfortunately, judging by the wishes printed on little paper ornaments adorning “Giving Trees” throughout the U.S., even kids living in abject poverty think they’re entitled to today’s hottest electronics: xboxes, nintendo ds (whatever the fuck that is), and mp3 players.

Possible solution to the beggars-with-computers conundrum: public library computer labs.

I’m not abdacating websites for begging…although if the local homeless shelter provided such an avenue for those that frequent the shelter itd be a good idea.

Overall e-begging is humorous but frustrating concept….I mean now I cant even get harassed in public anymore? only while I check my emails?

We’re loosing touch…

Good read, by the way. Human nature trends to greed, and that will never change, but thoughtful commentaries on said greed are always enjoyable.

However, you do know what it’s like to be fetid with entitlement and self-delusion.

“When I pass by the same man in the median of the Laurel Canyon onramp, I like to think of him as going back to a box, not a house.”

Do you ever wonder what the man in the median likes to think happens to you when you leave? He probably that your warped sense of privilege detonates like an atomic bomb when you reach Orange County, erasing it (Orange County) forever.
