Have We Lost Perspective?

Ok, what's wrong with this routine?

1. Roll out of my nice comfy pillow top bed
2. Climb into my nice hot shower
3. Wrap up in my nice soft towel
4. Put on my nice shiny shoes
5. Eat my nice crunchy cereal
6. Drive to work in my nice climate controlled car
7. Sit in my nice ergonomic chair
8. Close the shades on my nice bright window
9. Login to my nice fast internet (ok since I'm at work it's not fast but you get the point)

So, as I sit here and ponder what to write I stumbled across an interesting list about the

Top 25 Things Disappearing From America

Of course things like Yellow Pages, VHS players and Dial Up Internet were fairly obvious but a few things did surprise me.

Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs

Ash Trees &

Honey Bees

Well, I was so fascinated by the honey bee topic that led me to a wonderful educational video



After watching that video I couldn't help but think to myself....Are we losing perspective?

Don't get me wrong I'm not here to go off on some complete "Humans are Bad People" rant but yesterday I saw a woman yelling at a checkout clerk for not carrying her brand of cigarettes anymore.

Have we completely lost focus recently or am I just waking up?

Hey--I'm all about sitting in my nice comfy ergonomic chair from Officedesigns.com. There's no need to second guess on that number...

From Post, first the question: "Have we completely lost focus recently or am I just waking up?"
Answer: Yes.


"Humans are Bad People"

No, robots are bad people. Especially the ones with lasers for eyes and programming for world domination.
