[Gay State Conservative]

I ride public transit regularly...mainly because of traffic and parking when going to the “big city”. If I see an older person,a person with obvious limitations/disabilities or a pregnant woman I offer him/her a seat. And why not? God has granted me good health and,for reasons known only to Him,has not granted certain others the same good health.

I used to do that when I rode the T in this state, and you should have seen the looks I would get when I offered my seat to a person of any persuasion.

Like I was an axe murderer. I never understood it. Why not just say “No, thank you.”

But I persisted. Because I’ll be damned if I am going to sit in that seat while someone who SHOULD be seated remains standing. I think it is shameful. But hey, you and I obviously come from a different era.
