For what it's worth, I have equal disdain for the decision makers that obligate firemen to stand in intersections to beg for money

The Houston Fire Department's annual "Fill the Boot" campaign raises funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). These funds support MDA's mission of empowering people with neuromuscular diseases through research, care, community support, and advocacy. Specifically, the funds help support MDA's research, treatment, and care center programs.

cbear : Trump won the election. He was voted in to sort out issues like illegal immigration on steroids. It's not financially sustainable. No one said this would be easy.
 
Furface11 : Well, yes. Sorting out the mess from the previous administration is going to take time and patience.

CaffeineFree :
Thank you, but that's irrelevant to the point I thought was clear. Yes, I hope they keep fundraising for the cause. But as I stated before and will state again a little differently in case a different phrasing is clearer, they need to get off our street corners where they can distract drivers and create unsafe conditions.
 
Don't you agree that it would be better for everyone if they set a better public example by putting themselves in a more acceptable and safer environment?
 
Some of us might actually give to their cause if they changed their strategy. I never give when I think it serves to enable such bad behavior.

Spork : I don't disagree with that at all. I think all that marlarky should be outlawed. Too much of it is going on. Someone is going to get killed or badly injured one of these days.

I doubt an older senior group would be involved in that protest.
