Nothing to do about your post (I think I saw something similar a few years back) but more an answer to the hitchhiking conundrum. The perennial fear of the unknown, the risks against helping someone in need. Personally I would (of course) say that you should always pick them up, having been in the situation myself, standing by the side of the road for hours on end with people driving past purposefully ignoring you (and I can tell you, it's not a nice feeling being rejected and ignored on such a large scale). And as I mentioned before, I doubt any hitchers have evil intentions because standing in unpleasant conditions for so long and the uncertainty of even getting a ride are disuasive enough. It's another case of the perceived risks far outweighing the actual ones.
Then there's the question of doing the right thing. You mention that you are a Christian and if JC's example is to be followed (and not that of the church, which is a self-serving, money-grabbing, power-hungry entity) then one should always try to help others in need, regardless of the discomfort caused to oneself. But of course it's very difficult to actually live by one's principles, no matter the intentions. But it's not just a religious way of acting, but a moral one. We have to make the effort to help each other, or else the world will eventually go to pot.
Actually I'm surprised so few people hitch nowadays when one looks at transport prices (I'm sure you know all about that having taken the shinkansen).
Anyway, those are my, rather garbled, thoughts on the matter.
This is not supposed to be an accurate study. (Yes I was able to read it). Cav
Yeah, I think most people can read it, but it's still fun! On the other hand, messed up spelling still drives me bananas.
I read that with ease, but I think most people can do that, once they have figured out what it's all about.
Hilarious. I remember hearing that children learn to read partly by the brain creating word-family categories. This seems to affirm that! Thanks for bringing a smile (and some comfort for my misspelling moments!).
I've seen these before (and was able to read it too). An interesting visual exercise.
speaking of reading, stop by Seedlings if you like, to read your tag. (Sorry, I know you just wanted to keep on with that Turning Woman.)
