You Don't Own Us

A few days ago I chose to violate a local Xenia City ordinance that I consider to be immoral, unethical and unconstitutional.  I was not aware that Xenia passed an ordinance banning panhandling until I met a woman who was released from the local jail.  When she was released she had no cash, no phone, no car and nobody to help her out.  As a result she did what would come natural to most human beings: she asked another person for help.
