4. Somewhat of an aside.... |
|
I just got back from Trader Joe's and a young man was in front of me with a tattoo 'Impending Doom' on his arm so I asked him if he felt his generation had a collective subconscious regarding this fate. Then he showed me his other arm and it said 'Restless Idealism.' He said they were a balance. So when I saw the 'Idealism,' I said, 'You should be in DC today.' By then he was checking out and there was another young man as the cashier. Both of them looked at me like I was nuts.
Neither of them knew anything about it. I asked if they ever read any news on the internet. "No, I don't want to know anything." I said something about if the electorate is not informed, how do you expect to have a democracy?
All I got was total blank stares. Is this everywhere? I'm in Ohio...is it any better anywhere else or am I simply doomed to being around nothing but idiots???
I mean if you're going to tattoo something about 'idealism,' wouldn't you be informed???? I was afraid to ask them if they intended to vote next month.
BTW, I don't think the guy knew what a collective subconscious was....he started packing up his groceries so fast, it was really something to see. I think I scared him. I should have said, 'BOO!' I did have my Halloween earrings on....they're scary, I guess.
