Thoughts While ShavingAs I advance in age, I have a difficult time passing by someone begging (thumbing) for a ride, but I know times have changed and we never know when someone is “high” on drugs, may have a weapon…pistol, knife or who knows what.
Years ago, thumbing to town and back home was just a normal thing to do….No more.  So, good folks, looking for a ‘lift” are left beside the road, unless I know them.
Another thing that bothers me is related to those who have chosen a career in the public sector (law enforcement), who set bad examples.  Remember when stopping at a stop sign, any stop sign meant STOP.  Just an example.
I have high regard for our public law enforcement officials, but, if they are operating a vehicle in a way that they could issue me a ticket, I am frustrated.  The last thing I need is to lose confidence in those who are sworn to protect me.
I hasten to add, the vast majority of law enforcement, EMS and others, no doubt follow the law and I have great respect for them and what they do.  Some of Bladen’s best.
