Tricky Buggers

You don't have to look very far to find bad news.  The decaying state of our polite society is all around and as a species we seem to be less culpable for our actions than ever before.  Instead of concentrating on what we can do for humanity we have to defend ourselves from it.  From wall street to country backroads, some one is always plotting to take advantage of those who insist on being hopeful and who are too trusting.

Yesterday, I was made aware of some such events that I found worth warning about, even if it just makes us more aware of our surroundings.  Apparently, some deviant or miscreant placed a baby stroller in the middle of a less travelled dirt road in order to spring a trap on a well meaning passer-by.  There are many ways a person might react to a stroller in the road, but whether it is base curiosity, or overwhelming concern, our reasonable response is to know if there is a child inside.  The trap is sprung and the victim pays dearly.

More later, but keep your eyes open for situations that can't be defined as normal and be careful.
