Th...Also, I totally agree with your last statement. There has to be a way for equality and compassion for others overlap. Some people think equal treatment means you have the right to treat everyone equally bad. There was a post at NC (I know, I know) a few years ago about offering your seat and the attitudes some people had were just appalling -- like they never paused to think about how it might feel to be in the shoes of the person who needs the seat. It was more like "Why should I have to give up MY seat...?" No one HAS to give up a seat, but have a little humanity--sheesh.-GRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572804405784557926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126806229198854623.post-58184976060951015232011-04-10T18:19:08.825-04:002011-04-10T18:19:08.825-04:00Yeah that is my thought (and hope) too.

During my years of commuting on the T in Boston, I had "my" seat & while I certainly never asked anyone to move if they were in it, I used to have to resort to "seat plan B" aka "whatever is closest to the door that will get me off the train & down the stairs first".<br /><br />That being said, I was always amazed by the number of people who wouldn't give up their seat for an elderly person or a pregnant woman. Somewhere in the search for equality we (as a society) lost our good manners.lauriechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055505604530300274noreply@blogger.com
