I was at the mall picking up a group of teenagers when I saw a man in a wheelchair roll out of the mall and toward a specialized city van for people with disabilities. The driver apparently did not see the man in the wheelchair, who apparently had made an appointment to be picked up. As the man in the wheel chair rolled with one hand and waved the other hand toward the driver, a teenager who had been puffing on a cigarette nearby threw it down and began running after the van. He got the driver's attention and the van came back. The guy in the wheel chair got picked up and the kid went back to smoking a cigarette on the curb. I had to hand the kid $5 and say thanks -- I just had to do it. He looked dumbfounded and then smiled. (I hope he didn't use the money for cigarettes, though).

That's why I agree with Bush:
"Our nation's greatest strength is the decency and compassion of our people," Bush told hundreds gathered in an open-air tent at a plantation that stakes a claim to the first Thanksgiving.
