It's how they get away with 'installing' conservative candidates when only one in five self-identify as conservative/republican. They think those people they don't know (because they're too busy su=rfing their smart phones to make eye contact) vote conservative and nobody dares challenge...like Scott Brown winning Teddy Kennedy's seat...in a state full of die hard democrats!<br /><br />C.K's daily posts read like the unfolding of the apocalypse yet nobody notices or worse, they aren't banding together to do something about it (because Big money is too entrenched and who are you going to complain to, your congressman???)<br /><br />Gegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918737715343158105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-53056169886372053772015-03-13T13:32:04.974-05:002015-03-13T13:32:04.974-05:00Our wedding was a rather sleazy gathering in a Las...Our wedding was a rather sleazy gathering in a Las Vegas "chapel," but we've been married for 30 years this coming July, so I guess it "took."<br /><br />Glad I'm retired if people don't even talk on their breaks now. I learned so much about manufacturing and business in general just from talking with people from other departments on my breaks. I guess it would be a breach of freedom to ban watches and cell-phones, but people are hurting themselves by isolating themselves in this way....Classof65https://www.blogger.com/profile/15620524862669295761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-71413568071274014652015-03-13T10:04:15.216-05:002015-03-13T10:04:15.216-05:00(The I-Watch/I phone phenomenon) Sort of ties to t...(The I-Watch/I phone phenomenon) Sort of ties to the 'down is [the new] up' economy that nobody is paying attention to.<br /><br />What's the possibility of a revolt if people don't talk to one another?<br /><br />As I am learning, there is no point in being a writer either because people don't need to buy anything to read, it's already in their pocket...and it's chock full of pre-approved, canned politics and authorized propaganda!<br /><br />Hell, come break time they don't even talk to one another anymore, they sit in the corner and surf the headlines on their 'dumbphones'...
