I find the genuine compassion rather forced by the demands of one.
Its easy to show compassion for all of 5mins then walk away.
Who was that really helping in the end? The homeless guy or the protesters?
The guy will be hungry tomorrow and those protestors will be tucked up in bed with a full belly.
I really do know what you are saying St. Renton and agree to an extent. BUT, we can't all become the lowest common denominator to show that we want something to change. I've protested against all sorts of things, doesn't mean I have to have experienced them or would ever want to, that's kinda the point really!
