I guess it's part of the "I'm the only one in the world" syndrom, that you can see in every big city.
'I'm the only one who count"
"only me and myself"
"if I ever need help, gvt -PD- FD etc.. will take care of it, because, hey, it's ME !"

Same thing that the "why should I bother myself to drive and park a few 50 or 100meters away (where there is a free parking place), when I can just park in two lines, bothering everybody else, to go and buy my pack of fags?" attitude ....


In rural areas, people are more isolated and they know, if something bad ever happens, they can only count on themselves and their immediate neighbours. So they are more readily prepared to help themselves or their own neighbours ...

and yes, you got it right !
I'm more than tired with the "why bother myself when I can more easily bother somebody else" attitude I encounter several times, every single day that passes by..... <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
