I'll join you in left field. I'm hoping that it gets so crowded out here that we have to expand into Center and Right field. There is a list compiled every year by Lake Superior State University of the most over used words. 911 and nearly any phrase having the word security in it should be on the list. Not that we need to forget about 911 or security but we need to stop using them as an excuse.

When was the last time you went to college, remember just being a number? (social security, to be exact) Ever since 9/11 many places have been doing things for "security" reasons, however I feel many buisness's are using this to their advantages just to monitor employee's and such, to make sure they are working. I feel as though if the employee is getting the job done, that's all that counts, however that's just my opinoin, and I'm sure there are many others. Their was some 80's show I remember seeing, I think it was something like Mad Max or something, maybe I'm way wrong, but it was in a society when learning isn't allowed and TV rating ruled everything, only major corps had $$$. As of late, I feel our society turning into such as seen on TV. It probably won't be that bad because a revolution will happen (most likely), but yall understand were I'm coming from. Perhaps it's just paranoid me. :-) I think John Q. got screwed because it ended up being all about the money. That always just urks me... So many people care about the money, then again, few people are every really happy with all that money. I dunno, but then again, I don't know anyone who would want me doing surgery on them. ;-) I think if people were educated to care about others, things would be different. While working at the thatres, too few parents show this. </two cents> Perhaps I'm wayyy in left field... I dunno...
