While walking about Wellington with a friend (who is a rabid Libertarian) we passed a busker, playing a saxaphone.
He dropped a couple of gold coins in the buskers hat and we carried on.
I asked him "Why on earth did you give him money?- that sort of thing encourages them!"
He replied "The music was good, he was doing something when he could have been doing something and he didn't ask for anything."
Thinking about it, I'm far more likely to make a donation for whatever when I'm not asked. If you push a tin under my nose, you can be sure of getting sweet FA!
Telling me I should give or I'm being selfish ain't going to work here!
