People amaze me

It is amazing to watch people at sporting events, concerts, amusement parks, just about anywhere where there is a crowd. They just don’t pay attention to what they are doing.

How many times have you seen someone following too closely behind someone with a full beer or something and boom the person in front stops and wham spilt beer on everyone? People are always in such a hurry they have no idea what is in front of them or just don’t seem to care.

You will watch someone run up the steps at an arena or stadium never once looking at the top of the stairs. And then you have the people standing and talking right at the top of the stairs, not realizing people are coming and going. Boom person running up stairs doesn’t look up till last step and people standing there oblivious and there is a wonderful explosion of food and drinks going everywhere.

People going around corners too quickly, same thing. Don’t cut through expecting no one to be on the other side. Or,… well, …you will be eating their popcorn. And people never seem to realize there is another person on the other side of a curtain in a theatre. And that is usually the wine crowd and they are always so put off like it wasn’t their fault. Uh, yes, you decided to go through the middle of the curtain without looking or slowing down so, it is your fault. Red wine decorates white blouses so well.

Now I know most people do not fit into this description, yet enough do that it amazes me. And each time the person that is at fault is so annoyed. You can always tell the people who think the world revolves around them. Maddeningly funny, but unfortunate for the innocent bystander who was just trying to ask directions to their section or something.

People look up and slow down. If you are running late, don’t inconvenience everyone else because you have no respect for others or are unaware of your surroundings.

Anyway I had to get this off my chest. This is one of those stupid things that bug me to death, yet I know better and should let it go. Hopefully posting it, will exercise this from my brain.

Spring seems late getting started this year, so hunker down everyone, it is coming.

And somewhere in the back of my brain I have more ideas for campaign reform. As you know, we are way past due for some changes. Here are a couple of more ideas.

I already mentioned shortening the time frame for elections and getting rid of Citizens United and making donations transparent. I think reform of the parties is next. The people who do support the individual parties need more say in who is chosen to run. It seems way too much is decided at the National level. Much more needs to be worked on at the local level. And the parties should have limits on how much money they receive in donations.  My brain is still bantering around some more ideas, hopefully I can piece all this together into one succinct post. Hopefully ha ha ha

Have a great week everyone
