Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

What could be more pleasing than a composite of CVS images?CVS

So I ran out of the following items in convenient simultaneity:

  • soap
  • kleenex
  • toothbrush
  • shave cream
  • underarm deodorent
In response, I went to CVS where I was subjected to The Beatles and the discovery that, in response to an increase in theft, bar soap is now stored in a locked cabinet. Bar soap? I mean, of all things to steal. It seems like there would be items both smaller and more valuable.

Going to CVS often makes me reflect upon various people I've heard speak about life in Communist Eastern Europe. They often would talk about how everyone had to have the same kind of lamp or car because there was only one kind. Frankly, I don't see how this was a huge problem. It doesn't seem that bad during those times when I'm forced to choose between literally two-hundred different boxes of Kleenex.

To further enhance the interestingness of the experience, the scanners bar code scanners were not working. I had to recite the price of all my purchases as the friendly and apologetic clerk pointed to them. "Um... three ninety-nine? Two-fifteen, I think. Oh that one I know: three forty-nine." This was a very strange experience.
