When standing at an intersection waiting to cross the street…people ( at least in New York City ) tend to instinctively follow the crowd by stepping off the curb even before the “walk” signal appears…just because they feel its safe because everyone else is doing it… several times ive seen people come close to getting hit by right of way cross street automobile traffic…
“You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Why do so many people at laundry mats stick around and stare at the Washing machine as their clothes spin like a ferris wheel..as if They were watching a special episode of their favorite Reality TV show… its so predictable …
Recently..i was walking home from the gym I work out at.. and on the Sidewalk in front of me.. were several little girls wearing what appeared To be ballerina outfits… they seemed to be excited to begin their class… And as I made my way further up the street.. a woman sat in a Chair handing out booklets about “end of world is near..so you better Join our religion to be saved”…so as I walked passed the woman I made a comment on purpose saying “aren’t those little girls sweet ?” And the woman could only reply “Ya.. But They’re Blocking The Sidewalk” ( ??? )
“You can’t legislate intelligence and common sense into people.”

To prove how much society has accepted the breakdown of the traditional Family…TV Land just accepted terms for a TV sitcom called “Happily Divorced”…i mean seriously…happily divorced ??…whats with the general acceptance of the total reverse of American family values ?…do you see a pattern of societal destruction with what’s being created by the mainstream media and what’s being digested as being normal by the public ?…
Paranoid domesticated delusional brainwashing comes to mind.
I recently went to the post office which was just closing.. I wanted to mail a First class letter.. one employee outside said there’s no more mail to be Picked up.. the truck driver picking up the last pieces of mail accepted The letter.. the female employee suggested I take the letter back and give It to the girl outside the post office loading the mail into a cart… which in Turn was to eventually be given RIGHT BACK to the postal truck driver i approached in the first place…go figure !?!
I’m standing in line at a local popular electronics franchise… waiting to Be served.. and the sales guy begins not only flirting with one of the Customers he’s serving.. which is sometimes irresistible ( I suppose )…but then he gets a call from his cellphone.. looks Down at his phone and cannot resist sending what looked like A text message to whomever was attempting to contact him.. It seems like everywhere you turn… people can’t help themselves When it comes to being SLAVES to their cellphones… distractions are taking over people’s lives and affecting their professional etticate – which seems non-existent these days…
