Seven Things

 1.  Either you have rights, or you have permissions.  Just remember.....they aren't the same thing.

2.  If there is no price to be paid for making bad decisions....there's no incentive to make good decisions. 

3.  If you asked people back in the 1980s if they had a rock-hard opinion on something....it probably never went above a dozen things you felt this way on.  Today?  You probably have an rock-hard opinion on 300 things.

4.  If you felt OK on dropping your vote in a envelop at a unattended box-situation....would it matter if the unattended box was next to a Burger King or topless bar?  And if that bothers you....why would you say it's fine in some parking lot next to a post office?

5. I had the term  'cattywampus' come up yesterday.

So this was a invented word in the early 1800s of the US....mostly in  the south, and it meant something that wasn't right.  So you could refer to the way something was built, or a person acting stupid, or a legal process that was meant to fail.

6.  If you asked how many people can handle social media (like FB, or Twitter)....I'd say fewer than two-thirds have the maturity-level for social media.

7.   Just for the record.....9th century Chinese monks are the ones who accidentally discovered gunpowder.
