In general I understand your rant . . . I kind of want what I want when I want it. ITs one of my more endearing traits lol.

So if I want to drink in the ambience of a nice restraunt, I would rather have people die than ruin my time. *shrug*

But thats just me. And I guess you .

However, I do remember this story by LEadership Guru Stephen Covey, where he talks abotu a ride ona train.

On the train there was a man sloppily dressed sitting with apparent non-concern as his two children ran around wild.

Finally, after minutes of this aggravation, Covey turns to the guy and makes an ascerbic comment.

The guy looks over slowly and apologizes.

It turns out that his wife, the kids mother, had just died in the hospital and he was kind of distracted . . .

I am not condemning any of you for jumping to conclusions based on your personal comforts, but personally I like to cut other people a little slack because I don't know their story.

But hey! We all have different approaches to problems .

Have a nice day .
