You are right, intelligence should have taken over. And this is one of the few times I could have picked up someone - I never do when my kids are in the car. I will call for help, but I will not expose my kids to anyone I do not know even if it is a cop car by the side of the road. Just so you know, a few years ago people around here were being pulled by fake cop cars so it is not that I am against cops or anything.

Even when I have been attacked by freepers, I have ALWAYS tried to turn the other cheek. When one of them verbally attacked me in front of my kids, I told my kids they should be happy they live in a country with free speech. I did ignore talking about the part where the freeper told me to leave the country.

When a freeper saw my bumper stickers and tried to run me off the road I again ignored it. I turned to trying to convert people I know.

You do not kick someone when they are down and that is something I have strived to insure these past few years. When a person needs help you give it if you can. It was very wrong what I did and I think I will go back to see if her car is still there so I can leave a note with an apology.

A person's character should be judged by how you act when no one is around and my character did not pass that test today. I will say there was a truck parked about 30 feet in front of where she was and I hope if she needed help that those men did help her. They were workers and at first it crossed my mind she might be with them but they were too far up for her to be with them. A gas station was just across the street but that does NOT excuse my actions.

It is what we attack conservatives for and we can not ask something of them that we are not willing to do ourselves. That would be hypocritical.

I hope it will not make her angry at Democrats but I have decided I will be going back and leaving a note of apology on her car.

Thank you for being so forthcoming with me.
