		<description><![CDATA[Sooner or later, most people will encounter a panhandler. It is an unjust fact of life. Though on most days my path crosses someone or another begging for some change, typically I don&#8217;t give money to panhandlers. It is not that I don&#8217;t empathize with their suffering, or that I doubt their need, but I [...]]]></description>
