I hate to say it, but there is a good side to doing this type of thing. When I was in graduate school my girlfriend and I had a "little bother." We could never reach him, and it was always difficult to plan things with he and his family because they could not "afford" a phone!! They did however have multiple VCRs, yes it was a long time ago, and they had hundreds of movies in their house that they had purchased!!
How much did a home phone cost for local calls in the early 90s?? How much did videos cost to buy??
I am not sure that our friends from Texas have the right motives, they may, but I do know that I would like to help people that are homeless and/or unemployed find work, food, and a place to live, and am always willing to donate to that cause. I too would like to know when I do that that these folks will not be drinking or shooting my donation.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst endorsed a change in state law to require first-ever mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients and those receiving unemployment assistance. What do you think of this idea? Article: http://bit.ly/Zp2qIj
