Random observations:
A lot of people vote to be powdered and diapered by government in ways they'd never pamper their own kids. Or allow anyone else to. Babies are helpless. That's the reason they need baby-ing. Don't try to diaper me, please, mister G-man.
Next thing you know everybody here in California who lives in a wind tunnel (also known as a canyon) or in a tinder box (aka a brushy hillside) will be whining to get federal aid to rebuild their recently burned down house. JUst wait. "Course they're gonna want to rebuild it in a canyon. Or a brushy hillside.
Why do some people think that yelling at others is an efficient way of achieving a desired result? Even kids don't like to be yelled at. I don't think anyone responds well to it. Makes people nervous. I don't do my best when I'm nervous and getting yelled at, do you?
Do you know grown-ups who use the word "awesome" frequently? Please tell them they need to stop. Immediately.
Seems to me like I'm seeing fewer bare midriffs with the accompanying low-cut jeans on women. Now we men can go back to enjoying the occasional glimpse of navel or small of the back. It's BORING if you show it to us all the time! You've got to retain some mystery, ladies, to maintain interest.
If you're not watching the World Series you're missing some of the best TV there is. TV excels when you don't know what's going to happen and sports are the best example of extemporaneous stuff around. Not watching baseball anymore 'cause the players "make too much money"? How much is too much? Somebody holding a loaded bat to the owners' heads? How about we put a cap on how much you can make? What skin is it off your nose if they're making a ton o' dough? Shut up and get over it. And don't start with me about the '94 strike. What" Are you entitled to watch baseball? Would that keep you from buying any other product from an industry where the workers have ever gone out on strike?
And if you're not watching 'cause you think baseball's boring, well, you just don't understand the most interesting team game ever invented. Very sad, really.
If people are expected to treat animals better than they treat each other doesn't that imply that we're a higher lifeform with these accompanying higher standards of behavior? Don't these higher expectations make us a superior species, PETA members? Food for thought, but it's OK, 'cause it's not meat-type food.
