Take me, for instance. My name is KZ. For a good time, come find me at Prosaic Shades of Gray.

I mean 'me' said. It's hard to trust people. Most people in this world honestly aren't worth trusting anyways. But what I find even more sad is that these people who swindle others in the name of charity do so much damage. The repercussions don't really fall on them themselves but on the homeless really. They swindle you, you don't trust these kinds of events and so you don't help out even if its legit, and so the homeless receive no help. It really is sad when you really want to help someone out but doubts like this prevent you. I agree with what Tara…ahem… I mean ‘me’ said. It’s hard to trust people.

They're a pretty messed up organization. Also, how do you know that person's not just going to take the money for himself/herself? There's no real way to track the money that is donated each day or in a shift. You should take out the extra y in "guilty trips." Actually, I’m relatively against the Salvation Army.

Maybe you could train a dog like that, but it does nothing to motivate me. And I just helped organize a toy drive for the Guardian ad Litem program I work for, without a single loud bell.
