The event that brought home to me the change in American self reliance was an article in the San Jose Mercury a few tears back telling the story of a man stalled on the train tracks who was killed still sitting in his car.His last act up until theimpact was to dial 911!

Actually..."tears" is equally appropriate...because it's enough to make one cry!
