Should you give money to the homeless?

It has been ascertained that in the UK, and I've no reason to suspect that it's different in the US, around 80% (some estimates say 90% or more) of the long term homeless suffer from one or more serious mental condition.

Of course some people still believe that the mentally sick don't have a 'real' illness but I'm not going to comment on that.

Homeless people deserve whatever care and compassion we can give.
