13. I wish they could meet the mother of two who hangs out at my local gas station for food money.

One look at her and you know she is not involved in drugs or alcohol.

That excuse is just a great way of exonerating one's self from helping another human being.

What you are saying is true, and it was always Jonathan Kozol's best argument: These people suffer terribly and who cares what they do to stop the pain, or whether we pay for it or not.
