Hitchhiking

People are sick in the head today. Its not like it used to be where just a few people were kinda crazy. Now people are sick in the head to the point that nobody trusts anybody anymore. With things in the news like murder, kidnapping, movie theatre shootings, all that. The world has changed and peoples minds have changed. Ill still pick people up depending on the situation like if its raining or something but i tell them to hop in the bed of the truck and ill take them as far as i can

I really dont think the ratio has changed. Just the number of people has increased, saine and crazy alike.
If you were a hitch hiker back when, and a vehicle came along one every few minutes, odds are one of them would stop. Today there is a constant steam of vehicles and none of them stop. Most are in too big a hurry and/or assume someone else will stop.
