WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS February 9, 2000 And Now, the Word Consideration While this may not be a topic of choice for columnists with a news background, and while I seldom write editorials from a personal, first-person standpoint, I feel that I must indulge this week in the use of "I," so that I may convey to our readers the idea behind our word of the day here at the Carolinian: Consideration. Probably the most important thing about being considerate is having a degree of common sense. This first point may very well explain why people in this age and time are not considerate: they have no common sense. Think about when you drive. Do YOU like someone behind you shoving their headlights straight up your exhaust pipe? Or, do YOU sometimes wish that the person in front of you would pull over and let you go around because they're going too slow? Well, why don't YOU do it? This is a little harder to explain, however, when it comes to the ever-so-delicate matter of the sexes. Both sexes should, obviously, be considerate of one another's space, their emotions and the topics of conversation you choose. But as a man, or maybe a little boy in a man's body, I must say that men should have a slightly higher degree of responsibility when it comes to being considerate with a lady. This past weekend, I went out on the first real date that I had had in a while. I found, as I have before, that women today have a hard time letting guys open the car door or hold the door to the restaurant for them. I have even been given Men should treat women with consideration just because it's the right thing to do. the cold shoulder for sending a girl a flower the next day. I never have gotten that! It wasn't a ring: it was a flower! Responses I have received upon asking for an explanation range from, "Well, I just don't want to be dependent on someone else." Or perhaps, "Well, I'm just not used to it." What it all points back to is that women aren't used to men being gentlemen because men simply aren't gentlemen anymore! No wonder men get sex changes these days! We should be ashamed! And this kind of treatment shouldn't stop after a goodnight kiss, or after you've been to bed together. Men should treat women with consideration just be- A Pound of Trash for Every Person in NC by Daniel Menestres Staff Writer The North Carolina Department of Transportation recently released litter pickup figures for 1999, showing that one pound of litter were collected for every citizen in the state. North Carolina's growth in population, industry, and tourism has resulted in increased traffic volumes and created a serious litter problem. Approximately 7.6 million pounds of litter was collected according to the figures released by the Department of Transportation. In recent years, statistics show that litter collection numbers from 1993 to 1996 ranged from 5.2 to 5.8 million pounds. From 1997 to 1999 these figures rose drastically to 8.6 million pounds, according to the numbers released for 1998. "In 1998 the state of North Carolina spent approximately $5 million to pick up the litter from roads in this state," said Heather Thompson of the Department of Transportation. This litter was picked up by inmate labor, those participating in the Adopt-A-Highway programs, and other community service organizations. "A great deal of the litter is from commercial truck traffic and construction material," added Thompson. There are approximately six thousand Adopt-A-Highway groups in North Carolina who volunteer to clean up the roads in the state. In an effort to reduce this serious littering problem, motorists who witness any incidents can record the license plate number as well as the date and location of the violation, forwarding this information to the Office of Beautification Programs. The offender will receive a letter stating the litter laws of the state, and a free car litter bag. This letter will be signed by the Colonel of the Department of Motor Vehicles to emphasize the seriousness of littering violations. Citizens can report littering incidents directly by completing a Swat-A-Litter- bug agent report form or accessing the website at www.dot.state.nc.us/litterbug. Forms for this report can be obtained by calling (919) 715-3188. For those who would like to volunteer their services for the local Adopt- A-Highway program, contact Mickey Wilkes at the Jackson County office at (828)586-6019. cause it's the right thing to do. Don't just do it for your girlfriend; hold the door open for the girl that was in your class and is leaving out the same door right behind you. Don't let it slam them in the face! Hold it open! Yet, this "consideration" thing between the sexes goes for women, too. No, women shouldn't have to buy the meal, or hold the door open for the guy, but maybe the woman should understand if her boyfriend says, "Yeah, I want to go out tonight, but I got the bill for my car today. Can we just rent a movie and get some pizza?" Guys have financial trouble, too. Being considerate to people isn't so hard. Simply think of how you would want them to treat you: the golden rule. Are you ever really so excited to get to your 10am class that you have to ride that old man's bumper till you find a passing zone? Are you so late that you had to cut that person off, or be rude to somebody, so YOUR day could go smoother? Just think about it when you're among other people, and think of how you should treat them before you ruin someone's day. Besides, didn't your mother teach you anything? Seth R.
