Procrastinator

I am supposed to be working right now. The Girlfriend is in class and I have homework and a deadline coming up. However, my mind is just SO FULL. So. We shall do very few small snippets.

- I think the man who slapped the toddler? That yeah, ok, he shouldn't have done it. But for anyone who shops at Walmart? It's like redneck central, at least where I live. There are MILLIONS of children running around shoeless, shirtless and seemingly parentless. It's annoying and wrong. These kids jump in front of your carts, open things up and SCREAM. So, like I said, he shouldn't have done it. I personally think that physically disciplining any child that is not your own is wrong, no matter what. However? I totally understand and sympathize and I think that parents need to be taking WAY more responsibility for their kids' manners, especially in public. Whatever happened to politeness? Teaching our children right from wrong?

- Healthcare? I don't understand the big thing. People should be more important than money, money should be less important than it is, and no one under eighteen, employed or being generally more productive to society than less productive, should have to DIE because they can't afford doctor visits. This one hits home a little too personally for a snippet, but I will write about it later.

- I love dooce. And her washing machine story? I followed it on twitter and people are RIDICULOUS. They also don't know the definition of fairly simple words and they attack and attack and attack. This ties in with snippet one: what happened to manners?


This can all be summed up by what I say more often than anything: The entire world needs to gain a better sense of common decency, common courtesy and common sense. If those three things could be attained? I think it would all be good.

Back to work.
