It really is sad that people could go on about "their business" while someone is in need of dire help like that. How they can do it is beyond me. I've helped a few people in situations over the years and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. To me it is just something you do. I would have trouble sleeping at night knowing I did nothing to help, and it cost someone his (or her) life.

I guess it just comes down to how a lot of society is today. "Screw everybody. It's all about me". Well to people like that I hope when their day comes someone is around who thinks otherwise and is willing to help them. I am a believer in KARMA and what goes around comes around.

Your right MAC! Its a "ME" society! When the chips are down or someone is in need.....your instinct is either to help and do what you can do or just run and ignore the situation! It is a moment that defines ones character! Folks that choose to run......they must live with it! I pity those folks...I really do!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

i've helped a couple of people at accident scenes- like mac said, i could'nt sleep if i did'nt help. it's a basic trait in most of us to help someone in need. i think more of us have this trait than not. i always think that if one of my loved ones were in a similar situation i'd want someone to help them out.....do unto others....
