I'd like to think that I would have offered ber some form of assistance. However, we never know how we will react in a hypothetical situation.

But then again, I have met many helpful citizens in the brief period that I've lived in this growing metropolis. lies in Skalskis conclusion. The only lesson she seems to have learned from this real-life situation is that people deserve the same treatment they hand out. Thats a very old-school attitude. What we need more of in Milton is advice found throughout the New Testament of the Bible. If we treated others the way we'd like to be treated, this town would become exemplary, and people like Skalski wouldnt feel so bitter - though understandably so - and neglected.
