I lost my cell phone once at a Walmart (it had dropped out of my purse's cellphone pocket). I realized it was gone before I even left Walmart. So I called my cell phone and a guy answered and he returned it to me. I was very thankful because my cell phone had all these pictures I had taken of my grandmother and those were more valuable to me than the phone itself.

But this story is really sad. It only will encourage people to not be good samaritans because of the fear of getting into trouble for their good deed. Lawsuits against good samaritans is why many people now are afraid to help out someone in need. Many people whose heart stops beating end up dying when they could actually still be saved at the hospital. That is because, after I think about 15 minutes of using the electric shock for the heart, a doctor calls it quits because of fear of being sued if the person's heart starts beating again but they have brain damage. If the doctor just continued, the person has more of a chance of surviving. There was this one woman whose heart stopped beating and after the alloted time, no doctor wanted to touch her. But then this other doctor didn't care about being sued becuase he didn't want such a young girl to die so he tried for a whole hour to get her heart to start up again and succeeded in starting her heart and she lived. Sad that many more people could have a chance of living after their heart stops if doctors weren't afraid to keep working on them.

Over the summer, I stopped by a rummage sale around the corner from my house. As I was leaving, near the end of the road, I saw a woman's purse lying in the middle of the road. At first, I thought it might have been an item on sale at the rummage sale that someone had accidentally dropped. When I picked it up though, it was full. At first I wasn't sure what to do. These times are weird. Attempting to do a good deed can land you in jail. But I found the woman's license, noticed she lived around the corner, and took the purse to her home. Her brother was there, said she was out rummaging, but I left it any way. I made a point to say I only looked at her license to find the owner and that I only did so because it was lying in the road.

I was afraid for about a week.

In a similar fashion, my husband was at a soccer game with our son on Saturday. There were two mentally retarded boys fighting and there didn't seem to be any parents or guardians. He said it was getting pretty heated. People were just standing around staring. He said he finally went up to them and told them to knock it off before someone got hurt. He was amazed that no one was attempting to do anything about, to break the boys up, and find their parents or guardians.

People are afraid to do anything for fear of being noisy, getting involved, or getting sued.

A few years ago over in Ohio, a woman tried to commit ѕυιcιdє by driving her car off the road. The car crashed on the side of the road in flames. Two men, construction workers, were getting off work and saw the van burning. They could hear the woman screaming and could see her hair burning. They broke out the back windows, climbed in and rescued her. Now, the two men are suing the woman for causing their injuries. They both suffered so much smoke inhalation and burns that they are not able to work. They are on disability now and thinks she should be held accountable for their loss of lively hood. Here's the story.

Sad, sad world in which we live.

Actually, everything's going exactly according to plan--the Masonic, Socialist, Zionist plan mapped out over two hundred years ago. Create chaos, and punish anyone who tries to establish order, and soon, like an over-ripe fruit, society will fall into the waiting hands of those who wish to return us to slavery to the Devil.

Read Samuel Todd Francis's writing on "anarcho-tyranny", or in other words, "No good deed will go unpunished."

Thanks to the patriot act the police can break down your door for anything.

These are tactics done by the bolsheviks in communist Russia. They also created paranoia among the people for each other and gave informers extra provisions.

Now the federal government, run by the grandsons and daughters of these communists are implementing the same state of affairs in the U.S. and many European countries.
