Additional Adages and More Musings

It's error is human. To really screw things up requires a know-it-all "educated mother-fucker" type who's "never wrong".


I couldn't care less about "getting along with others". I've learned my lesson about that a long time ago. Too often "getting along" means "going along with"...someone else's ideas and personal standards...everything being about what's fitting for them and to hell with compromise and accommodating my needs and desires...


SEXISM AT IT'S FINEST...
Does anyone else besides me ever get tired of all these women who think of their bodies as being some kind of "sacred temple"?
Secretly, now, wouldn't it be great to run into some fine-looking lady who considered her body "an amusement park" for a change?


Someone goes to college for years learning a profession followed by a long internship to refine their skills in said field...
...or, if blue-collar, someone enters into a long apprenticeship to learn a skilled trade and to refine their skills and knowledge of such...
...and, upon completion they're ready to go out into the world with their skills and knowledge...
...naturally these people are going to charge more for their services being that they're now "first-rate" in their field...
...so what do all the businesses, government agencies, landlords, shopkeepers and such do?
...they always hire the "lowest bidder"---the one who charges the least amount to do the same work...
...and so you have all these professional-grade people who can't find work while you have a plethora of cheaply-made products, poorly-done repair jobs, poorly-designed structures made from cheap materials, and poor service provided by some of the most uninspired individuals one could ever run into...
...and one wonders why the economy is tanking and why the U.S. is now so "third world".


Have you ever noticed?...that anytime you're at the helm of the ship and someone else pushes you out the way so they can steer, the ship always ends up changing direction?


Living in this society is like...
...an elementary schoolroom where the teacher asks a question, and instead of a few kids raising their hands, everyone in the class starts shouting out answers all at once.
...an episode of Ed Sullivan in which he introduces the first act and every act comes onto stage at once and try to perform. (And poor Mr. Sullivan can't just get-disgusted-and-quit, as CBS would sue him for breach-of-contract.)
...attending the Who concert in Cincinnati in December 1979.
In short, no sense of sanctity, boundaries, propriety, or discretion.
It's all "Me first!"
