To: Leaning Right

I would love to see everyone do the right thing but in todays society it does not happen. I am guessing that there has always been an indifference to those that are in need. I myself have decided that when ever possible I will stop to help and see if the person is all right.

years ago I was that person in dire straits. I had decided to bike down the coast from Richland Washington to los angels I was just a kid only 20 at the time. I misjudged how often I would need water and ran out of water on the road between towns. I was sunburned and on my way to heat stroke when I was able to flag down a car and get a ride into town I was still 20 miles out from the closest source of water at the time. before that car stopped for me about 50 cars drove by with out stopping. if that car had not stooped I definitely would of had the heat stroke and might of even died. I am thankful to the kind stranger that stopped

Bullchit. Yes it does. And sometimes from the damnedest places.

Being careful is OK. Being pessimistic is detrimental. d:^)
