13. I tried to "guilt trip" some folks into caring . . .

I wrote a really acid essay at http://breakthelink.org/The%20reason%20why.php called "A Nation of Kitty Genovese's Neighbors" in which I tried my best to "guilt trip" the folks who are, apparently, trying really hard to "not notice" so they don't have to care. Kitty Genovese was murdered in front of 38 witnesses, for those of you too young to remember. The witnesses, by and large, did absolutely nothing to help her. Not even phone the police, until it was too late.

I know way too many of these "neighbors."
