Link of the Day 12/12/11

Every now and then, you see someone doing the right thing. How many times have we seen the videos of a group of thugs beating up a kid or some drunk person hopping the counter at a McDonald's without anyone stepping in and putting a stop to it? It happens all too often. We'll just turn a blind eye and say, "It's just best not to get involved", or, "It's not my problem".

The problem is that the thugs are realizing that no one is going to step in and interfere, that that just emboldens them even more. Of course, there is the old adage, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". You've heard it several times. The problem is that we preach this over and over but when we are faced with a situation such as the one in the video below, most of us will probably just sit back and do nothing.
