Bostonists' Manners. Or lack there of.

"A note arrived over the transom recently, posing an interesting question in the subject line: 'Were people in Boston raised by wolves?'"

I agree. Often, as I schlepp around Bean Town, I notice how people are so reluctant to give up their seats to people who need them. Boston is a very young town, especially with all of the colleges and universities. This column is an interesting chronicle of Boston residents' reactions to people in need of seats on public transportation.

All I can say is that I'm not surprised.
