People Are Idiots Except for Me
RECEIVED Fri., April 22, 2005
Dear Editor,
Boy, talk about madness. People are idiots, aren't they? On both sides of the ban! But hey, let's think about these Top 5 things I've come up with on why people go out, and then reflect a bit.
1) The possibility they might get laid.
2) To drink.
3) To see live music.
4) To dance.
5) To smoke.
And I'm not even sure people go out to smoke, they usually just smoke while doing these other four things. My point is, there are plenty of reasons people will still frequent bars. Since the beginning of time people could drink at home for 10 times cheaper than at the bars, yet, for some crazy reason they still went out. Was it so they could smoke? No, they could do that at home, too! And since people rarely find a hook-up while sitting around their coffee table enjoying a puff, they'll have no choice but to go out, or join HookUp.com. Which would you do? So until we pass a ban on the exchanging of phone numbers while in a bar (which is a violation of somebody's rights, somewhere, I'm sure), people are still going to go out. So ban or no ban, people will continue going out. Quit your sweating and give up the bitching, cause this is a democracy, and if the people want it one way and it ain't your way or my way ... tough shit.
