After watching the segment on 48 hours, there has to be a higher being in this world.  Shawn I can't imagine how you survived with this evil person for 4 years.  Devlin is the Devil.  Hearing the details of the abduction and then Devlin driving Shawn out a field and trying to kill him, and the abuse and then 4 years later kidnapping and abusing another boy.  UGH, why waste our money on this inhumane person.

St. Louis.....the new New York?

You may wonder what I mean.  I am begining to think that St. Louis is the new New York.  It used to be that New Yorker's were known for being rude, I think that St. Louis is taking its place.  I have lived her all my life and I have friends who visit who say, you know your city is quite rude.  We are dubed the city that asked "what high school did you go to?"  If you did not grow up here that question has no merit.  Our drivers are rude if not the rudiest.  People in St. Louis are very self centered and in my 40 years in this city I can say it has gotten worse.  Think about how you treat people, do you treat them with respect?  Do you always feel you have to get something and if you don't you throw a temper tamper to get it?  We are entering into the time of the year where we are suppose to be thankful for what we have,  For those of you who think that the earth revolves around you, it does not, take some time to think of someone other than yourself.  Try putting your cell phone away when you are checking out, (I am sure that conversation is not that important), try to acknowledge a person who says hello to you,  if you don't get your way, try and be an adult and think does it really make any sense to get upset and make a scene?

 

Where has consideration gone?  I have talked to a variety of people from many walks of life and there is one thing in common,  consideration has gone out the window.  The public in general is just rude.  Just stop and watch people whether you are at the mall, grocery store or on the road driving.  I live a pretty good life and view things in a positive way, but it is quite funny that in talking with many different people who are not my friends, but complete strangers that they all would comment that society is getting ruder.   Material things do not make you more important or make people want to look at you.  Your car, your house, your job those are not things that impress people.  If you feel that makes you who you are then you are a very shallow person.
