Everyone deserves help

To the editor,

While Ms. Golembiewski's concern for her supervisor's plight (being ignored by passersby after falling and injuring herself, Letters, April 21 Wildcat) is admirable, I think she misses the mark when she observes that "surely she [her supervisor] couldn't have been mistaken for a homeless person or a drunk (she was dressed in career clothes, had her hair coifed and was wearing makeup)."

I'd like to think the standard for human compassion is a bit more inclusive than that - homeless people, drunks (even well-dressed drunks), and the not-so-well-coiffed also have accidents, break bones, and need assistance from time to time from their fellow humans, don't they?
