And he could not write one to describe how No Good Deed Goes Unpunished in Washignton, DC. Reply Waffler, Smith, Arkansas 12/27/07 Aesop was sooo ahead of his time. Now we have Evolutionary Pshycologists that tell us that little kindnesses create a quantum leap in the quality of life of each of us and of the society as a whole. What kind of world and society would we have if each of us slammed the door in the face of the other rather than holding the door for the total stranger coming in behind you. Funny though we have to learn this behaviour. Children don't know that being kind to strangers comes back to you in "quantum leaps". 2 Reply E Archer, NYC 12/27/07 Good manners are the glue of society.
