I had a very Hobbesian bus ride, just now.
A hobbling old lady wearing dark Paris Hilton glasses got on the bus and sat on the first bench, behind the driver. She was picking at a scab on her leg that suddenly burst open. There was blood everywhere. Upon taking a closer look at the wound, the bus driver realized it was black and rotten. The lady insisted she was fine. The bus driver told her to take off her damn glasses and look at the thing. The lady said she was fine. The bus driver pulled over and called the paramedics. People on the bus called the bus driver a bitch. The bus driver asked the lady if she had the diabeetis. A pudgy girl with short hair and buck teeth said she was going to puke. A junkie, who looked half Auschwitz victim and half leathery fruit rind, and wafted a shit bouquet as she paced up and down the aisle, ignoring the blood and other fluids she was probably stepping in, complained that she was late for court. The paramedics arrived, wrapped bandages around the wound, and left; apparently, in their world, a world of copays, not Hippocratic oaths, she was fine, after all.
What the FUCK kind of world are we living in?
