ATLANTA BARB-Page 2
Do unto others
as you would
have them
Did you ever read the
story about the nice
young couple who drive by
the old lady as she's being
mugged. And keep on driving.
This nice young couple.
These pillars of the commun
ity are suffering from the
great American disease
called Apathy. Better
known as “I don't
want to get in*
volved'.'
And they're all
wet. They are in
volved.
In Georgia. Apathy
is in its critical stipes.
More crimes are committed than ever before
The burglary business has never been better.
Mugging, rape and
drugs have become
household words. And
people are being killed.
Apathy is killing people.
And with the odds being what
they are. it won't always be the
other guy.
Deadly though Apathy is, the
outlook is good because the cure is so
simple. Involvement. Get involved. Care.
Care enough to get mad. And get mad
enough to report a crime if you see it com
mitted. Call your local sheriff or police de
partment if you see anything even remotely
suspicious. And if you can't do it for purely
unselfish reasons, do it for yourself. So that
one day, if you're at the wrong end of a crime,
the folks passing by won’t pass you by.
They'll call for help.
