I like the video they have been showing on the news this past week of a woman walking through a mall and texting at the same time and she walks right into a fountain. I think that, contrary to popular belief, this is very often the result of multi-tasking which business people seem to love these days. When you do several things at once, it is almost certain that you are not doing any of them to the best of your abilities. (update on this: I hear the women is now suing the mall for putting the video on youtube, but no one would know who it was in the video if she hadn't acknowledged it and sued. )

Two high school students accidentally shot when another student sets down his backpack with a loaded gun in it. I'm sure the NRA will say the solution is for more students to carry guns so they can shoot back. In fact, they will say, everybody should carry guns and then there will be no more accidents like this one, no more people going nuts and shooting others, no more of people shooting a sleep-walking spouse thinking it's a burglar. And the proof of this theory? There isn't any. But we can look back to the very peaceful time in our history known for some strange reason as “The Wild West” when almost everyone did carry a gun and everyone lived together in peace and harmony, right?

A Mexican fast food restaurant chain posted caloric content on the menu in some restaurants and found that it made no difference in what people ordered. Apparently, people who order a 1500 calorie fat burger are not doing it because they don't know it has 1500 calories, they just don't care. So why is the government pushing restaurants to post calories?

“The recipe for creating anything is really quite simple. Take good or bad feelings (meaning positive or negative vibrations), bake with varying degrees of emotion to increase magnetism, and here comes what we've attracted, like it or not. What we have focused on, and how we have vibrated about it, is what we have gotten... from birth.” ~ Lynn Grabhorn
