Now you wouldn't think this could be a topic for discussion amongst decent yidden. Cyclists, after all, are part of Hashem's creation and we are dutibound to thank Him for the bad as well as for the good.
So when Mr. Blogs arrived home on Friday and showed me the dent in his cycling helmet, commenting "boruch Hashem I'd left my brains at home this morning anyway", I was a little surprised. After all, he only cycles from Temple Fortune to Grodz - and even then only on a Friday. What could have happened?
It transpired that a Mrs. XXX, driving her 6X6 [with a sticker showing her support for Kisharon in the back window] had been a little too eager to squeeze passed another car and had given poor old hubby minus inches clearance. Excellent! Support Kisharon! Drive selfishly and donate brain-damaged victims as a result. Otherwise you risk arriving at your destination 1 minute later and that is too unthinkable for words.
Have you no respect for the people kisharon helps that you see fit to use this organisation to advocate cyclists' safety? How sick you are.
ReplyDeleteBad drivers are a risk to everyone, but they can still donate much-needed funds to kisharon without being made to feel guilty for the occasional consequences of their driving.
Mrs B is not blaming Kisharon, she is merely stating that there are too many bad drivers out there in cars which are too big and powerful, who flaunt their dedication to charitable causes by displaying bumper stickers - in this case Kisharon - who are in fact self centred egotists who have no consideration for others, and believe that their time (probably to have their hair manicured or their nails waxed) is far more important than the life and wellbeing of fellow roadusers.
