@David "Let's say 3 people come across a lost wallet on the street, and start quarreling over who saw it first and who should get the money. Is the proper response to try to help them agree on a division, or to tell them to mail it back to the person whose driver's license is in the wallet?"

This is really unfair to the CM because this is a completely inaccurate analogy.

What Jack clearly doesn't understand is that most residents view the entire ticket giveaway as dirty. Try to move the piles of dirt around, and you just get dirtier.<./i>

And this is a misconception you should be trying to clear up vs. perpetuate.

Among the many laudable reasons, the CMs use these tickets to reward their staffs for hard work at little pay, incentivise neighborhood activists to keep doing the hard volunteer community work that the District seems to depend on vs. paying for these valuable services (because we're spending all our money on schools and welfare), and giving kids who otherwise wouldn't have a chance to go to these games a chance to participate.

Jack's right. A lot more research on your part should have been done before attacking him personally. [Deleted for violating the comment policy.]
