Maybe if I had more faith in people. But so many of my adult fellow Americans are so stupid they would stick their hand in a beehive to grab a quarter, repeatedly. I see my fellow adult Americans as the type of people who would mock you when you tell them you shouldn't pour water on a grease fire. I just don't feel like I'm surrounded by learners and therefor, risking my life for them would not be worthwhile since they would put themselves right back in peril again.

But I know there are folks who are more optimistic than I am.
