Where did you get the information that liberals passed this?
Michael Bloomberg (mayor of NYC) is a half-and half. He is socially liberal but economically conservative, used to be a republican and now is a democrat, but at one point was thought to be about to run for president as an independent. I wouldn't say he is liberal at all. Title is even more misleading.

In fact, the first organization mentioned in your own source to "sue the City of Brotherly Love for not being loving or brotherly enough with its ban on the outdoor feeding of the homeless" is the ACLU, which is a fairly liberal organization.
In Philadelphia — where the ACLU launched a lawsuit last week attacking the ban on the outdoor feeding of homeless people, enacted June 1 — the plaintiffs in the suit include Chosen 300 Ministries Inc., the Rev. Brian Jenkins, the Welcome Church, the Rev. Violet Little, the King’s Jubilee, the Rev. Cranford Coulter and others, according to the Pennsylvania Record.
Wow. They "sound" conservative. Convinced me right away. Many churches are often quite liberal.
As a side note, I do love the solution at the end of one of your sources:
Don’t give away the food. Sell it. For a penny.
Tape one cent to the underside of every plate at every food distribution. The homeless person then goes through the motions of handing the penny back, and voila! A transaction.
It’s not charity, it’s commerce. And what could be more American than that?

I hate it when people say this.
Why is it that people describe fame and popularity from the internet as if it's a derogatory statement? What's the difference with internet-based fame and TV-based fame or movie-based fame? Just because these people make their living in this particular medium, it doesn't mean they should judged in a lesser standard.

Because they changed the premiere date to Saturday, March 24th, which is today.

I know it's difficult, but come on guys. At least try to have a political discussion without resorting to throwing unwarranted insults left and right.I mean, I know I'm not exactly a paragon of good will here, but I'd just like to see at least one more place where discussions can be civil when it's about touchy subjects such as these.

My post definitely wasn't meant to hinder you from ever writing again. That's the last thing I would ever wish to do on somebody. Don't take my post as a pile of crap telling you what you can't do. Use it for inspiration; try to create something out of it. Believe me when I say just a year ago I was writing horrific short stories that would have made Shakespeare roll over in his grave. Stephen King does a thousand words a day, everyday. Although you don't need to do that much writing, give yourself a routine of at least 300-500, and keep at it. Practice makes perfect.

That's about it for now.
