Feel free to educate the readers. Seeing that you are from the Washington DC area, you should be well equipped to educate all on the social/political causes of poverty in Panama. Hi Magbana,

You have the floor. Feel free to educate the readers. Seeing that you are from the Washington DC area, you should be well equipped to educate all on the social/political causes of poverty in Panama.

So the game is give the poor, dirty people enough to assuage your conscience, but make sure each is taught a lesson about begging etiquette. You are far more intrigued with your own cleverness and don't say one word about the social/political causes of poverty. You had the chance to educate your readers here about poverty in Panama and what you gave was how to navigate through the poor beggars so that you only have to cough up 2 quarters instead of 3 quarters. And, as for the whether some need only compassion while others need only money -- I guarantee you they all need both! I am stunned by this post.
