Correct and polite English would perhaps be,Everyone else and I. But if "I" is the building block in the life of the social animal called man, some things must start with "I".
If I and everyone else stopped at the red light, if I and everyone else struck to our lanes,if i and everyone else accepted the ticket gracefully ,instead of arrogantly testing the integrity of the policeman by offering him a bribe.If I and every one else resisted the temptation of boarding the train,without reservation,confident that the ticket collector has not the strength to refuse the money offered? If I and everyone else did not offer 'incentives' to the delivery boys ,to get a gas cylinder out of turn? If I and every one else would rather wait our turn than readily offer 'speed money ' to hasten our ration cards,driving licenses,caste certificates, police verification, false medical certificates? If I and everyone else refused to lubricate the official machinery,from peons to secretaries,from village panchyat functionaries to revenue officials to get the right and wrong things done?If I and every one else refrained from destroying the public property at the slightest provocation.If I and every one else did not wax patriotic and nationalistic ,only on the Republic day and Independence day?If I and every one else did not............................................
