I was surprised by the pizza delivery story as well. When my sister was UPS driver a few years ago,, she saw a very bad accident on 495 in Washington involving a delivery van. The man in the van was near death, his skull all smashed and she sat cradling her head in his lap for a while waiting for the ambulance. I think he died while she was with him.

When she left the scene her uniform was covered in blood and she was near hysterical (but, later, she was able to tell his family what happened and offer them comfort.) She went back to the UPS center and UPS sent out another driver in her place and gave her time off.

I think most Americans will bend over backwards to help someone in need and we'd probably still go to the rescue of all the countries giving us a hard time now, because that's the way we are.
