We've all heard the expression, usually when something bad happens. Stack your car up, get divorced, lose in Vegas or perhaps that asshole cop finally caught you texting while on the freeway. While I don't buy the Forrest Gump explanation of the phrases genesis, it seems as if it is here to stay.
That being said, what about all of the normal, un-noticed, not thought about things that occur every second of every day to accommodate our cush lives? Things like soup being made in Omaha, Nebraska? Or Cheese in Tilamook, Oregon? This stuff happens consistently with the vast population never really taking notice.
I was in the grocery store checking out some steaks, when this wannabe PETA representative says "it's wrong to kill animals to eat them". "Well shit, if only our ancestors hadn't figured the whole fire thing out". When cows grow opposing thumbs, and make a car that rivals a Ferrari I will vow to never mow down another Mcdouble again. Until then, all I have to say is FOOD CHAIN. She went on to buy some farm raised salmon. Hypocrisy at its finest, and dumbest.
Ponder the hydroelectric power plants supplying us with electricity. Or Direct TV (when they are not over charging us) beaming their neato HD programming into outer space so we can all see Mike Rowe pick up Rhino shit.
I suppose my point to all of this is the world spins with or without us. Our opinions mean dick (sometimes less). Whether we notice it, look at it or truly see it, shit does and will continue to happen.
