People like this are literally too " low rent " for a place on
Bob's * " bus " . But they do deserve an honorable mention for
a seasonal pass : I myself am ALREADY on the bus one May morning.
The bus is crowded with young and healthy people on their way to work
or school. A middle aged woman with her left arm in a sling boards the
bus. I wonder how long it will take for somebody near her to offer her
a seat. Like zombies they don't SEE her or don't have a clue about common
decency. She FINALLY gets a seat when somebody gets up to get off the
bus.
Later a bus driver told me a young woman with a baby in her arms
got on his bus. The same dysfunctional sociology is observed. The bus
driver gets a little pissed : " This bus is not moving to this young lady
gets a seat ". There is some applause as if he were now on the Oprah Winfrey
show.
I get off in front of the library. A middle aged man with a cane
is at the crosswalk. There is even a flashing yellow light. Cars with
waving American flags just speed right by him
UNITED WE STAND !
