Yes, I hear you. And thank you.
Additionally a couple notes:
1st; regarding commercials, I see these when I visit my mother and at other’s homes. If these commercials, particularly insurance company commercials, are indicative of the educational level of Americans, we are doomed.
I do not equate foolishness with comedy, this foolishness is a sad commentary at best.
2nd; just because you can do something, does not mean you should. (I am sure most have heard this before) and where is it written that I must assist or cater to another’s belief or needs, simply because they exist.
Courtesy is given, but respect is earned.
I do not simply respect/defer to an individual because they are elected or appointed to a position. They must show some worth.
And it is ludicrous to extend respect/deferment to offices or furniture such as benches. Every human is an individual and one size does not fit all.
In closing I must admit I do miss the occasional Dr Pepper.
You sound like a pretty grounded person...I very much appreciate your outlook and I aspire to that direction, and feel like I have to work every day at it.
I have made **some** progress since I was much younger...”
I strive every day to do so. LOL, FR sometimes forces me to as well...:)
