I am speechless

Okay so maybe I am not speechless, but I promise I was for a minute. Totally speechless - Which for me is a big deal. I am over it now and ready to rant.

Man oh man. I like Connecticut, I really do. I think that it suits me. How ever if good old CT can't get its act together I may have to start seeing other states. It seems like every time I turn around CT is making the news for being the worst at something. We have the highest achievement gap, we pay the most for gas (yes sir, we now pay more than Alaska and Hawaii) and now we have been publicly embarrassed for our unwillingness to help someone in need. For a minute and 9 seconds no one bothered to help a man who had been struck by a car. The video is absolutely chilling. You can see the cars swerve around the elderly (yes folks to make it even more horrifying the man who was struck was elderly) victim, you can see a moped circle the man and never stop, and you can see people on the sidewalk just gawk. Not a single person offered first aid. No one even bothered to walk over and hold his hand and whisper words of comfort while he waited for emergency help.

So again CT in in the nation news. Watch me.

I do not believe that this sort of behavior is unique to CT. I think that our whole country has learned to turn a blind eye to our neighbors suffering. I am particularly outraged because this happened in my state.

I think that all the caring chill heads that I know in Connecticut need to take a look at this and work together to show people that we know better. We need to create a community that cares for its neighbors and looks out for one and other. Not people who walk by someone who is hurt.

I am sure that everyone is sick of hearing me jump up on a soap box and rant about the need for change. If this doesn't drive the point home I am not sure what will.

Now lets start a revolution.
