Maybe, but that doesn't quite explain the fact that business enterprises from AT&T and US Airways on down to your local short-order shop seem to be afflicted with ADD, hearing loss, vertigo, cross-eyes and undifferentiated confusion. The excuse is that our lives are too busy, but when were they not? I used to wonder if it's the microwaves riddling what's left of our brains, but now I'm starting to joke about it, and when I start to joke it means I'm taking it seriously. A more optimistic view is that it's millions and millions of people utterly alienated from the jobs they're slogging through. But that doesn't account for the dedicated actor who doesn't show for rehearsal because "I got it mixed up on the calendar." Or is it computer screens that are inducing premature senility to us huddled masses? I realize I'm conflating a vast array of disparate phenomena here, but with the daily battery of confusions encountered (and finding that I contribute to it at times as well), I'm expecting any day to see a Punch & Judy where the baby beats the crap out of Mr. Punch without the puppeteer intending it at all. Cheers, grimly- Conrad B. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
