People are very...

...strange indeed.

I watch everybody, sometimes they know but mostly nobody really pays attention. I always know when I'm being watched though - at first it can be disconcerting but then I realize that I have an audience - people are hungry and they want to be fed.
I think...in my humble opinion, there is a pervasive sadness that has gripped the world. It's everywhere and for me, it's not very comforting - to say the least.
Perhaps, I am just more aware of it now...I just don't know.

I've been pondering many abstract ideas lately and for the first time ever (in my life), I can't see a definitive answer to anything. It seems to me that there are no rules anymore. We we're watching some crime show yesterday and the murderer was let off three times for mistrials, yet they kept trying him over and over. What ever happened to double Jeapardy? Since when do we try 12 year old's as adults? I was trying to imagine my 12 year old son committing a capitol crime and going to prison - WTF?????
We have kid's running rampant - there are no rules anywhere. Kid's can do what they want because we let them and then they kill someone and the Witch hunt begins...ooops, here come the do-gooders. What about the parents? Hello?????? I just heard that we cannot spank our children anymore?
I am so glad my children understand the rules and are relatively grounded, aside from the heavy losses that they have suffered over the last couple of years. I watch them very closely, they don't think that I pay attention - Oh yes I DO.
