58. That was exaggeration
Edited on Mon May-10-10 11:28 PM by comrade snarky
An attempt to make a point that flew right past you apparently, sorry. I don't think of flyover country that way. It's where I'm from, though admittedly a big city in flyover country. I'm sure people in your beloved small town would rush to help each other in an emergency just like people in the city do.

So anyway, as you say, back to the story.

Was this guy in "an unnatural position"? Does the article say he was sprawled out? No, it does not.

It says the people who walked by thought he was asleep. That's all back story that has been made up whole cloth right here on this thread by people who can't separate imagination and pre-conceived notions of what a city is like from reality.

Does anyone one this thread know that "something looked funny"? Why is it the automatic assumption that he looked injured and no one cared? That's what bothers me.
