Be A Hero!!!!!

    In the last few months, quite a few movies have inspired Americans to want to be heroes. It almost seems uncanny, coming in the wake of 9-11. A good example is The Sum of all Fears:

    I haven't seen that one yet. But, after watching Spiderman recently, I noticed that I was not alone in feeling a sense of awe and courage. People left the theatre with beaming faces, no doubt feeling inspired. So my question is this:

    Why did practically everyone leave their trash on the ground as they exited?

    It's not just hoodlum youth in the inner cities who jeopardize our communities. What about the doctors, lawyers, businessmen, etc who do not care to pick up their own unfinished popcorn?

    Don't you just hate selfishness and greed? I sure do.

    The ushers at movie theaters are usually under 20 or over 50. We shall assume the older ones are set in their ways. But as concerns the young people, what message does it send them when they are forced to clean up after everyone? In general, the patrons are more privileged (at least at the theaters I attend) than the ushers. Should not the patrons also be more wise and compassionate?

    If you want the respect of people you consider 'below' you, you should respect them. And besides that, you are helping to create a new generation of apathetic boobs. What will happen when these apathetic boobs become the middle class majority of tomorrow?

    Thanks much for your replies Prisca and Jeff.
