OPINION
Save
the music by sharing it
Mistrust of most capitalist enterprises
pervades the opinion columns of college newspapers everywhere, so why stop
here? Lies and contradictions have pushed many people to take the proverbial
dumpster-dive toward truth, but the truths they find aren't much different
from newspaper headlines and by the time they enter idle conversation,
they are usually distorted.
Irony is for
sale, and it is pricey
I remember the first time I laid eyes
on a Hot Topic clothing store, years ago. Blaring what was Slipknot's latest
eardrum-destroying sonic bile, it beckoned the young and confused masses
into its gaping maw. It was truly the cultural oasis for those who were
different, and the brutal enemy of conformity in all its dastardly shapes
and sizes.
Patience makes
life much easier
I work in a pharmacy, and I absolutely
enjoy my job. But there are always angry, impatient people coming up and
asking for prescriptions. For example, a man dropped off his prescriptions
the other day; I told the man that it would take 20 minutes and asked if
he wanted to wait. He gave me a nasty look and started to yell.
