Read it here.

Excerpt:

You could object that we’re not obliged to help total strangers, but allowing people to accept a job is not charity.  It’s minimal decency.  If Kathleen gets a job, and I don’t slash her car tires on her first day of work, I’m not a “humanitarian.”  I’m not starting the Save Kathleen Newland Fund.  I’m merely leaving Kathleen alone.
