I was driving home one day and at an intersection was a man that had stumbled and fell, injuring himself while crossing the road. The light turned green, and people just drove around him. When I came to the light, I stopped my car in the middle of traffic, got out....and with the assitance of another pedestrian we managed to get him over onto the sidewalk. We then called for an ambulance. You would not believe the ANGER the drivers behind me showed. They did not want to be held up for the 3 minutes it took us to get the man to safety....and as they drove around my car they swore to high heaven at me.
The reason I left my car right there was simple...the people driving around him were barely missing him and it was my fear that someone would run over him before I could get him out of harms way.
This is the *ME* generation.....the days of "community" for a lot of society are over
