Random Thoughts
Should I consider it evil that part of me wants to go out and buy a big carton of Kroger ice cream -- with nuts?
Do any of the people who write Internet editorials about the importance of job seekers keeping a good attitude actually know anyone who is unemployed? I have to wonder.
Last time I checked, traditional Muslims were not really big on American beauty contests but that did not keep people from slandering the current Miss USA.
The harder it is to get to your cell phone, the more likely it is to ring.
The more badly you need a check, the more likely it is to get lost in the mail.
The more people talk about the efficiency of government, the more likely it is that the lost check will be a government check.
Should I pretend that historians just made up the Little Ice Age?
People who are insecure about their intellectual abilities tend to disparage the intellectual abilities of others for the same reason a person insecure about his or her appearance will often disparage the appearance of another person.
The more necessary people are to the running of a city, the more likely they are to be taken for granted.
Politicians tend to prefer intellectually unarmed peasants.
If we are really all that concerned about the scientific knowledge of modern-day Americans, why do we always seem more concerned about the image of American lawyers than the image of American engineers? And why do lawyers have a higher status than engineers in our supposedly pro-science country anyway? And why do lawyers rarely have to worry about losing a job due to outsourcing or being replaced by some recent immigrant who is willing to work for a lower rate than a current citizen?
Funny how discussions of the benign nature of Communism seem to involve people who spent all of five days within a Communist country and not people who were former citizens of such a country.
When you grow up among people who have worked in steel mills and automobile factories, it seems a bit obscene to go on and on about how "hard" it is to be a writer. Especially when the hardest part about being a writer is rarely the actual writing. It is finding something to write about that people are actually willing to pay you to write about.
