As we mature, we tend to filter less. And I think that's a very good thing.
- When did a group become a "cohort"?
- Why is my phone now a "cell"?
- And why does my home have multiple cells but no phone of its very own?
- Why can't I buy a digital camera anymore but intersections have lots of them?
- Why does my gym offer CHAOS as if its a good thing--AND I have to pay to have more of it in my life?
- My daughter's wallet was stolen recently and it never occurred to me to ask if there was actual money in it.
- It doesn't seem like a wise decision to force taxpayers to use garbage receptacles that are bigger than most people, much less when those bins are filled to the brim and thus immobile.
- Why does my credit union attempt to socially engineer my choice of vehicle by designating parking spaces for fuel-efficient cars--especially when they financed the car I am not allowed to park in front of their building?
- Since when can't I be trusted to safely make a left turn on my own?
- Do we really believe more signs and longer crossing times will remedy stupidity on the part of drivers who plow into pedestrians?
- How come telemarketers call my phone (oh, sorry....my CELL) and then refuse to speak for several long seconds? Didn't THEY call ME?
