"Can You Believe ...???"
Ever say something like that? Someone commits a rude act and you indignantly report it to a friend - finishing with the phrase "Can you believe they did that???!!!" It might have been that rude driver in the pick up truck, or the cashier at Target. Or your co-worker. Whatever the case, the thing they did or said was outrageous and you were undeserving of such acts. It also might be the bulk of society looking the other way at something so obvious to you. Perhaps it is the re-election of some party official who was so brash about not keeping their campaign promises in the first place? We can break it down into two categories of wonder: personal and public. How, just how can there be any thinking that would produce these outcomes that are so deletorius? For years I used to wonder, and then I just accepted that there are people out there who are just plain rude and now I rarely react. They have to be pretty nasty for me to pipe up. Same goes with the head-scratching Nation...
