Growing up in a rough neighborhood, i have routinely been woken up by gun fire and seen criminals running down the streets with automatics in their hands.
Just recently i was in Houston at a mall one evening and i actually felt uncomfortable walking to my car at night. There were a few thuggish guys "hanging out" and it was a new experience for me.
I dont know if it was because i was with my girlfriend or not, but you do tend to feel "responsible" for your loved ones.
Later i remember feeling grateful that i took the class and am currently waiting for my license.
I watch the evening news and am reminded how ignorant i was to walk around in condition "white".
Great post DH, I am pleased to see a gentleman have a feeling of responsibility for the safety of his girlfriend. I was beginning to think that actions like that were being lost more and more with each generation.
I hope that my own daughter will choose to date a young man of like mind.
