   It’s amazing how many people make a decision and then only listen to those things that agree it was a good decision. They take pride in insulting those who disagree. For example, right now you’re thinking I’m referring to those who disagree with you (and I am, but it’s also about you and me). Why do we work so hard at criticizing others? (it doesn’t help us at all).

   Yeah, you have to penalize her a little… where are those arms stretched upwards and the pose? :P

   I notice he said ‘shall’. I wonder which century it’ll happen (it sure isn’t existing now). Now we listen to actors or politicians and leap to emotional fears and label it ‘science’, which has to infuriate those actually doing the research that proves the fears wrong.

   I imagine we’ve all learned this lesson (I hope so). The delivery services profit model seems to aim for emergencies or lazy people with too much money? (rather than a consistent service). Which is harsh, but now they appear like opportunists rather than helpful.

   These days, we place more labels on others, and on ourselves… in an attempt to solve problems or feel good about ourselves (but instead we generally create more problems and wallow in herds of mediocrity). It should be embarrassing to limit ourselves, criticize more and achieve less, but working hard, and succeeding are now ‘bad’.

   Yeah, they scatter when the light comes on… but they’re always there.

   If you’re busy, and someone asks you to leave and do what they want — other options exist: They can wait; They can join you. It doesn’t work well to demand others stop what they chose to do, and do what you want (no matter who is asking).

   Would they need news for that? think about it.We’re not likely to see ‘news’ again. it doesn’t make them enough profit (certainly not compared to the drama we have today — Infotainment). Intellectually we want news but infotainment makes money. What we have now is a business that tries to do both, but leans heavy in one direction.

   Cars are weird possessions. I don’t mind people enjoying them (I enjoy mine), but you pay a huge amount of money for them overall (add in insurance, gas, repairs, tolls…) and it starts to rival the cost of some homes.

   But would we spend that money better, if transportation cost less? And my first thought was, “are the cars we have now, better than Lola’s?” I see them as fancier, and more expensive (but nothing the ‘Earth’ would thank anyone for).

    Nah.. water isn’t flavored water, and coffee is dirty water, no flavor ;) :P
