- DC,
-
- Hate to burst your bubble, but I for one am a woman who has
- escorted a male to his car, house, etc... I also am a person who believes
- in putting myself on the line for another, even you, if need be.
- I believe in helping other people, because it's this selfish attitude
- of all for one (one=me) that has gotten us the dangerous society in the
- first place. If I get killed or maimed, or raped because I've helped
- another, so be it. I was once in a situation where somebody didn't help
- me. I learned that I couldn't depend on someone else for help, however,
- I swore that I would do whatever it took to keep myself safe as well as
- help someone else keep safe. This viscious cycle of selfishness has
- to stop some where. If you call me fool because of my alturism, fine.
- I've been called worse names by people worse than you. If you don't
- believe in alturism, well than I sincerely hope that your kids (should
- you have any now or in the furture) don't adopt that attitude.
- It's a small world DC. If we don't all start learning to realize
- that humankind is one big family, than we deserve to go the way of the
- carrier pigeon and let the cockroaches take over.
