no- really. i think that the best thing that could happen for this planet is if human beings extinct themselves. seriously. there is no humor in my words. why is it that you can’t get food made to order that is made correctly? no mayo- means no mayo. or why does there have to be fair trade coffee? why can’t people be ethical towards their workers? why are people so greedy that they want to make water a commodity instead of a right? why is it that my 65 year old neighbor charged my 85 year old neighbor to move a small table from her front porch to the back? why do you think i want to hear your craptastic music blaring from your fucking suv while you blow smoke out the window at a light?
why do we put up with it? it is a mystery to me why behaving badly is so well received. my 85 year old neighbor won’t stop buying coffee- although she doesn’t drink it- and the neighbors go and drink it by the potful without ever buying her a can or offering money once in awhile- and she doesn’t say a peep. we think nothing of bitching a blue streak about condiments scraped off the bun after we order with no mayo- but how many take the time to say something? is it the corporatization of the world that has left us so unfeeling and unmindful of others? or do we not say anything because we put ourselves in the other’s position and realize that we would probably do the same thing? i used to wonder if it was just american culture that is so lousy- but i fear it is an epidemic with globalization and westernization. it is a shame. when being polite and professional is the exception rather than the norm- i would say that’ s a problem.
i am going to go and have some rainforest alliance tea.
