I go to a certain store on a daily basis. It's a very OCD thing to do, but when I fall into a trend, it's hard to break. At any rate, while I'm standing in a pretty long line with my arms full of salty and sweet snacks, I notice the utter frustration on the guy's face in front of me. He's holding a 12-pack of beer, and is obviously in a hurry to get on with it. The man in front of him is holding a carton of cigarettes, and we are all frustrated at granny, who is holding up the entire line by buying $75.00 worth of lottery tickets. It made me think that each of us in line have our own vices. It seems that none of us has much tolerance for each others various addictions, and did any of us in this line really need any of these items? We concentrate so much on high taxes and occupying various parks in protest of the rich, that we sometimes fail to realize that maybe we all could be a little more frugal. Just a casual observation...
