That is very prevalent in todays society, people not wanting to get involved or helping others. People have been raised and taught that the Police, Fire, military, gubmint etc will take care of such things for them and to not get involved.

I have even noticed that when i try to help peopel out (say at the side of a hiway where their car is broken down) they freak out. I once pulled over to assist a young women who had a flat tire. She rolled up her window,locked her door and screamed at me to get away. Then she called the Police. An Officer showed up and questioned me. I showed him the tire jack and jackstands in my truck, and that i had offered to change the ladies tire and that she freaked out. The Officer asked the girl why she called 911 on a person who was obviously trying to help her out. Girl replied thats what her dad told her to do. No life skills , no common sense.

made me sick.
