As I looked around me at the devastation left as a busy session at the local cinema filed out it gave me cause to reflect on our society.
Popcorn strewn across the floor and seats in copious quantities. Half full drinks, some lying sideways, all around. Wrappers, sweets and empty ice cream cones all adding to the colour.
A desperate usher fastidiously beginning the cleanup before the next session. As I sat there, trying to enjoy the closing credits but somewhat distracted, it occurred to me that in my beloved country I could -
*Buy shares in power company's that have assets I already own *Sodomise my mate and call it holy matrimony *Not protest at sea about anything *Annoy people by trying to say 'Good morning” while they were on there cell phone/computer
Somehow I left the theatre feeling a little queasy. Perhaps it really is time to stop reflecting and start acting?
