Common Courtesy

When driving and you see someone walking or biking along the side of the road and you slow down to ease over to give them room, you are practicing preventive health care. Reducing risk for an accident and injury to the pedestrian is not the only thing I have in mind. You have commited an act of common courtesy that contributes to your equilibrium and good health, as well as the equilibrium and good health of your community.

Thoughts like these occur to me while walking my dog. Another thought that runs round and round in my mind is about all the trash along the roadside. Where did our society develop such a lack of respect?
