Sorry, you're not going to get away with that. You are not "liberal". You are a socialist proud and loud. You are NOT for more freedom as liberalism was originally but for not less but none at all. No one in any walk of life that knows even 1000 times more about anything than you has the slightest right not to just a right to speak it but in even daring to hold and opinion contrary to yours. You are looking for all the good little Germans that would drape the NAZI flag over their balconies so that the Brown Shirts would know that they wouldn't oppose the socialist Hitler in anything he did.
What used to be a Democrat Party is now the Brown Shirts. Those who believe that anything no matter how corrupt is fine when opposing conservatism. You have shown a level of evil even in these conversations that would have you beaten almost to death in any bar in California in the 1950's. And you actually glory in it thinking that YOU are going to be one of the ones that Pol Pot takes over onto his side. Sorry he murdered everyone without discrimination. He even had his own murderers murdered. That is the socialist way - there can be only one king and he must prove it. Whether it be Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin or any other of the communist states.
Tom, you sound totally unhinged.

And after you watching Jay post his communist propaganda you have agreed with him on every front. He is for helping everyone else as long as he using the money of someone else.
Sounded to me like he's done a pretty fair amount of helping on his own,
using his own time and money.
But that wasn't what I was addressing. I was just saying you sound
totally unhinged.
I'm just hoping you don't appear in the headlines, with links to your
Usenet posts.

It is far more likely that you'll appear in the headlines for driving a truck through a pro-American rally. Or maybe you can cheer on Jay telling me what Californian welfare laws are. I have been told by many people on welfare that you have to have a permanent address to draw welfare. But he doesn't give a damn what happened to that woman - he wants to make some socialist points.
You have been given wrong information:
.... or have imagined it. In Tom's case, I now suspect the latter.
I know nothing about the lady you encountered, but I don't give money to the homeless on the street for three reasons (1) I'd go broke because there is a homeless person every ten feet downtown, and (2) it promotes behavior I dislike -- pan-handling, and (3) I have no control over how the money is spent, e.g. whether it goes to housing or drugs. I give my time and money to social service organizations and give professional help to people in the social services system.
I agree, with one exception: I strongly approve of good buskers, or
street musicians - anything but rap or hard rock. If someone is making
halfway decent music, I'll give them a buck or two. If they're really
good, I'll give more.
A tale about panhandlers:
One day long ago I had just ridden my bike to work, and was leaning it
against a wall while I unclipped my eyeglass mirror and wiped my brow. A
guy walked up to me and asked for some money. "Hey man, I had nothing to
eat eaten since breakfast yesterday. I'm really hungry! I just want to
go buy something to eat. Can you just give me a little money for food?"
I reached into my handlebar bag and said "I can give you this apple.
Would you like it?"
He said "@#%* you, you #&^*@^$!" and stomped off.
I guess he wasn't so hungry after all.
