You are mixing religion with politics.....he refused to tow her after a wreck due to the political stickers...had nothing to do with religion

Hey Annie. Completely off-topic and from left field...I don't know why but we always seem to argue and I want to at least let you know it isn't anything personal. I don't think you are a bad person or anything, I just don't agree with your core values. I bet we would have one hell of a fun conversation over drinks
Thanks.
I do try to stick to my perspective. Try never to call people names.
My core values? At 70, been through a lot, seen many changes, raised kids and grand kids. I lived when life was basically role playing. I prefer the Opening Rose freeing all those mysteries we kept trying to shove under the rug.
About the only thing I miss is respect.

Respect seems to be forgotten in these days and while I may think your projection is occasionally on the harsh side...I do respect your opinion.

You can't deny service to someone based on religious beliefs, it's in the First Amendment.
There is likely more to this story, but if the trucker is giving the Bernie Sanders sticker and his Christian faith as the reason not to tow the driver, he should be sued.

If it's his truck and his business, oh well. His loss.
What if something happened to that women during the 2 1/2 hours she sat on the side of the road waiting for help? What if she had been robbed, raped or murdered, while she sat their vulnerable and alone?
What if she had been picked up by aliens, what if a meteor fell out the sky and crushed her, what if she couldn't get to the lottery office to claim her winning power ball ticket in the last hour before the claim period expired....none of these matter because "what if's" are not "what is" sorry, but there is no sense to worry about what if, just worry about life as it really is.

Really? NOTHING to do with religion?

“Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave,” Shupe said. “And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”
