It would have been impossible to go give it back to him, as he was weaving through a small crowd fairly quickly, and I'm a big guy, so I probably would have ended up knocking someone over.
Anyways, I was sure to yell 'Thank you very much sir' after him. That man was a prince.

Congrats fellow miniraiders, we did some amazing work this weekend. Over 3000 fliers handed out, thousands educated, and I know we successfully stopped a number of people from being sucked into the dianetics machine by talking with them before their scheduled dianetics appointments.
I'm proud to have served with all of you. :D

^^^ THIS SHIT UP HERE, this is the stuff that makes my heart sing, you know that?
Why? That right there is an embodiment of what is fundamentally good in humanity: two people, complete and utter strangers, helping each other out because they believe in an idea and asking for nothing in return. If this isn't random generosity in it's purest form, I don't know what is.
If this is the reaction we get from regular people regarding this fight, there's no way we can't win.
