selfish and looked down upon if you refused to help someone in need,but“I dont want to get involved”has now become a national motto.Are people still willing to treat others with the same kindness their forefathers displayed?The author makes a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar to test his faith in America.And the answer he finds is:you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.,The Kindness of Strangers,Mike,Mclntyre,1 One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City,California,to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert,I came upon a young man standing by the roadside.He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand.I drove right by him.Someone else will,stop for him,I reasoned.Besides,that gas can is just a ploy to,flag down,a car and rob the driver.,There was a time in this country when youd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need,.Now youre a fool for helping.With gangs,drug addicts,murderers,rapists,thieves and carjackers lurking everywhere,why,risk,it?“I dont want to get involved”has become a national motto.,2 Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker.Leaving him stranded in the desert didnt bother me,as much,.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.Does anyone stop anymore?I wondered,.,3,I thought of my destination New Orleans,the setting for Tennessee Williamss play,A Streetcar Named Desire.,I recalled Blanche DuBoiss famous line:“I,have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”,4 The kindness of strangers.It sounds so quaint.Could anyone,rely on,the kindness of strangers these days?,5 One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money,relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans.What kind of America would he find?Who would feed him,shelter him,carry him down the road?,6 The idea intrigued me.But whod be crazy enough to try such a trip?Well,I,figured,why not me.,8 I rose early on September 6,1994,hoisted a 50-pound pack onto my back and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge.Then I took a sign from my backpack,displaying,my destination to passing vehicles:“America.”,7 The week I turned 37,I realized Id never,taken a gamble,in my life.,So I decided to make a leap of faith a continent wide to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.,If I was offered money,Id refuse it.Id accept only rides,food and a place to rest my head.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the,almighty dollar.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina,a symbol of all the fears Id have to conquer during the trip.,9 Drivers,mouthed,the word through windshields,then,smiled.Two women rode by on bicycles.“Its a bit vague,”said one.A young man with a German accent wandered up and asked,“Where is this America?”,10 Indeed,for six weeks I tried to find out.I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states.As I traveled,I discovered that others shared my fear.Folks were always warning me about someplace else.In Montana they told me to,watch out for,the cowboys in Wyoming.In Nebraska I was warned that people would not be as nice in Iowa.,run contrary to,capacity,11 Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled.,I was amazed by the stubborn,of Americans to help a stranger,even when it seemed,to,their,own best interests.,One day in Nebraska a four-door sedan,pulled,to the road shoulder.When I reached the window,I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest.,12 “I know youre not supposed to,pick up,hitchhikers,but its so far between towns out here,you feel bad passing a person,”said the driver,who introduced herself as Vi.She and her sister Helen were going to see an eye doctor in Ainsworth,Nebraska.,13 I didnt know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping.,This woman was telling me shed rather than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.,When they,dropped,me at a highway junction,I looked at Vi.We both spoke at the same time:“Be careful.”,14 Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain,a trucker,pulled,over,locking his brakes so hard that he skidded on the grass shoulder.The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker.“But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain,”he added.“People dont have no heart anymore.”,risk her life,15 I found,however,that people were generally compassionate.A middle-aged Iowa couple shepherded me around for an hour,trying to help me find a campground.In South Dakota a woman whose family had given me a nights lodging handed me two,stamped,post cards:one to let her know how my trip turned out;the other to send the next day,telling her where I was so she wouldnt worry about me.,16 Hearing I had no money and would take none,people in every state bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them.A park ranger in Ukiah,Calif.,gave me some carrots.A college student handed me sacks filled with organic tomatoes and melons.A woman in Iowa gave me two bundles of graham crackers,two cans of soda,two cans of tuna,two apples and two pieces of chicken.,18 Elsewhere in Oregon a lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their dilapidated house.He gave me a Bible.Then he offered me his tent.I refused,knowing it was probably one of the familys most valuable possessions.But Tim was determined that I have it,and finally I agreed to take it.,17,The people who had the least to give often gave the most.In Oregon a home painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat.When I replied,“a light one,”he drove me to his house,rummaged through his garage and handed me a bulky green Army-,style,jacket.,19 I was,grateful,to all the people I met for their rides,their food,their shelter,their gifts.But the kindest act of all was when they merely were themselves.,20 One day I walked into the local chamber of commerce in Jamestown,Tennessee.A man inside the old stone building jumped up from his cluttered desk.“,Come on in,”said Baxter Wilson,59.He was the executive director.,21 When I asked him about camping in the area,he handed me a brochure for a local
