Me & my boys were talking about driving and courtesy this morning while dropping them at school. It made me think about when 9/11 took place and how for a short period, people were being more considerate, patient and kind towards each other. We took that "you don't fu*k with our country and get away with it" attitude, never seen so many flags flying in my life. That period had a totally different feel to it - did you feel it? When you couldn't pay someone on the road to let you merge into traffic, you could get in then - just courtesy across the board. Thought folks was going to start singing kumba-ya they were so united...................
Well look at folks now.

What it lasted about a year at the most and then it was down hill from there. It seems like stuff is more off the chain now than it was before that. Maybe it was this way before then, but I don't recall it being that bad - maybe I had on blinders.
Just thinking out loud.
