It made me think of some of the things I have found over the years, but this isn't about that.
No, what gets to me is how many of those "findings"were dutifully (and immediately) reported to agents of The State. I have found my share of marijuana patches and it never even crossed my mind to run to the nearest government employee to report them. I never found a dead body, and I'm glad. I would be conflicted about what to do. I might make an anonymous tip to a funeral home or something.
Never, at any stage of my life, did the default setting in my brain involve running to the government. Is that really such an odd thing?
