Plastic

Today on the radio a talk show host was going on about the plastic packaging that covers almost everything. How it is so hard to open. Hell Home Hardware now sells a special tool just to deal with the crap.

I hate the stuff too-but for a different reason altogether.

A product that is 1" square, like a printer ink cartridge, comes in a cellophane wrap....in a cardboard box.....encased in form fitting plastic. I unwrapped one and had half my desk covered in garbage. For that teeny tiny light magenta ink thingie. Disgusting.

Am I the only one who has heard we are running out of room in landfills-and places to create new landfills? Do we have to keep overpackaging stuff like this? If stealing is an issue do we not have those magnetic sensor strips and the doorways that beep if you've stuck one down your pants?

With all our stupid human technology why are we failing to make changes like this? Changes that matter regarding things that are IMPORTANT?

Gadgets galore, fancy faceplates for blackberries, phones that can do your taxes and the human race is still not evolving worth a crap. In fact it is de-evolving as humans rely on gadgets more and more. I'll never own a GPS-to lose my sense of direction would upset me, it's a great thing to have.

We also have a sun and stars that the ancient people navigated huge oceans by.

And our modern humans here can't get to the next town without an electronic thing telling them how to? Some have such blind faith in the things they make left turns into bodies of water.

And people think they have advanced? OK I've gotten off topic but it is all connected. Too many humans are stupid.

To be continued.
