The breakdown in society has reached the point where one puts one life in jeopardy when helping other human beings. Recently I was driving through a state park and was flagged down by a motorist who claimed to have a bad battery. I was uncomfortable but did stop to provide the requested assistance. Throughout the process of helping the motorist I felt uncomfortable. Fortunately there was no incident but the person in trouble could have attacked me at any time during the stop. Next time I’ll probably just drive on and report the motorist in trouble at a ranger station.

Another commentary on the state of our cultural decline is the motorist in trouble did not even verbally thank me for stopping and giving him a hand. He jumped in his car and sped away. Perhaps he was an entitled progressive who viewed me as one of the unwashed. After all he was driving an old Volvo and I was driving an environment destroying F250.

“.. throughout the process of helping the motorist I felt uncomfortable..”

I am afraid that is where we are in today’s society. We can no longer see a motorist who needs help (a knock at the door asking for help or any other situation) and do the “Christian” thing. We now have to really evaluate the situation and I am afraid to say this but... we have to look at the age/race/gender and put that into the equation as well. For what it is worth... the guy was a jerk for not thanking you.
