Did You See this?

So this dude, Anthony Anderson, was filmed pissing on a a dying woman. You gotta see this story. Totally fucked. What is wrong with people. To me it is people like this who are the real criminals (not some pot smoker). This is a crime against humanity and decency. Man's inhumanity to man is at an extraordinary level. Frankly, I don't think this guy is all that different to Ken Lay. For some reason the general public has accepted the common practices of dehumanizing everyone else. It could be taking a piss on someone, stealing other peoples money, throwing garbage into the street, it goes on and on. Perhaps I should call this column "Fuck Your Neighbor". This is a book I have talked about writing for years now. It is simply the stupid egocentric behavior of people, Americans in particular, that allows for the "doer" to ignore how their actions impact anyone else. They can be as terrible as starting a war to make some money or they can be as small as blocking traffic. This is a classic one so embrace me...if you will. I am not sure if you have heard but there is a bit of traffic in Los Angeles, most of the surface streets are 2 lanes each way. some are 3 lanes each way. One would think that is pretty substantial and should keep traffic flowing, wrong. This happens thousands of times a day...a person decides that they want to cross those 4-6 lanes of traffic and instead of crossing the street at a traffic light they decide to cross wherever they see appropriate. Slowly inching there way into traffic the first force the lanes coming from the left to stop then they inch their way along to stop the traffic coming from the right. Eventually making it across all those lanes. The ramifications...accidents, injuries, property damage, delays, anger all because this one person did not want to drive a few blocks out of their way until they got to a traffic light. I know I seem crazy but more "Fuck Your Neighbors" to come
