When WE the People Becomes just ME

What has made American Democracy great is based on a very simple concept: We all agree to stop at red lights. Not because it is good for me or good for you but because of the fact that we can count on each other to do the right thing, our American society has flourished.

But something is changing.

Yesterday, I saw a car pull into a handicapped parking space in front of Starbucks in Clifton Park. Yes the car had a handicapped tag but the only person in the car was NOT handicapped. He jumped out of his Honda SUV, opened the door and reached far across the back seat to get some books.
Twenty feet away was an open spot that was not for the handicapped but he was too lazy to park a car length away.

Did he care about someone who was handicapped and might benefit from parking in the convenient space. Nope...

It was only about HIM and how to make life convenient for him. I took a photo of his vehicle on my phone but Susan made me promise not to publish his license plate.

We cannot survive as a nation if 'We the People' is replaced by just "'ME.'
