American’s Crosswalk Mentality

If you want a good example of how a government entitlement affects people’s behavior in a negative way, pay attention to people walking in crosswalks.

Before government made it your “right” to walk in front of a moving car, people would typically hustle across the way, and maybe even give you a little wave because you stopped to let them cross. Not anymore.

Now, it seems, some people actually slow down when using a crosswalk. Some will stare at you as if to dare you to not let them pass. Some do not even look, thinking that they are fully protected by government.

Every once in a while you will see someone quicken their pace and thank you for stopping. If you do I bet you dollars to doughnuts they are not liberal democrats.
