The Perils of Hitchhiking
You admit that it is dangerous, but then you go on with the cheery
suggestion that people reminisce on the "good old days." Will you get
replies from people who have lost a loved one to some road bum? From people
who have been ripped off or raped doing this stupid, stupid thing? Maybe
you'll hear from the state troopers who've had to pick up the pieces of
accidents caused by highway hitchers. I really don't think it is wise to
go on about this subject because no matter what disclaimers you might
offer, you are still putting the idea in young people's heads that hitching
is a romantic and exciting adventure: "Nothing bad will happen to me, and
think of all these cool stories people are telling." I enjoy your show,
but I think this topic is a bad idea.
