If I found myself in the situation where someone was about to die of injuries, I doubt that I'd do much talking. I'd do what I could when I could and keep my yap shut. I don't believe in telling everything I know, so nobody's gonna find out who I am unless I want to tell them. About all I'd voluntarily tell anyone else at the site is the fact that I don't have AIDS. That's all they are entitled to know. If the injured party survives, I may tell him/her who I am. If he/she doesn't, then he/she won't care who I am. I'm afraid that's how it would remain if I tried to help get someone out of a jam. I'd have to conclude that anyone but the injured doesn't need to know. If the injured is so important to the other parties, why aren't they doing something to help save the injured party? I don't begrudge anyone a little help. I just ain't gonna let it come to a law suit. So, since I don't have AIDS, and ugly isn't contagious, the rest ain't none of their business. Any fights over my policy can only prevent my get- ting involved in the first place. Anyone feel I should be shot or hanged for my opinion here? Thanks for your indulgence, Tom Frye

The legal system we have in this country these days forces us all to be nasty like this, when just looking at someone crosseyed can be grounds for a lawsuit. There's just no knowing WHAT you can do anymore without getting reamed by some predatory lawyer. [Flame off] That doesn't sound like a flame you say? But it is ... a flame at our legal system run amok ... not at Mr. Frye, who just wants a way to give help when needed without losing his ass at it. -- Jay Jaeckel ...{ucbvax,decwrl}!imagen!jay Disclaimer: Nobody is paying me to write any of this stuff.
