In the Spirit of Christmas

Reason online has an article about how feeding the homeless can be against the law. Libertarians are not necessarily short on compassion, especially when authoritarian bullies enact laws against it. One member of the helping professions is quoted as saying that they're not so much against feeding the homeless as assuring that the homeless are offered other social services with their food. As one of the readers who commented on the article said, nothing is preventing him from offering those social services to people who want them.
