Be a better person, it might just catch on.

As long as I can call America my home and birthplace, I'll continue to do whatever it takes to make it a better place for all of us and for future generations. On the other hand, it is frustrating to feel like 1/3 of us are doing 2/3rds of the work and paying 2/3rds of the bills. Also, portions of our Government are corrupt and waste tons of our money; and, the greed of our Corporations are oppressing the working class more and more.

Just remember, if you aren't part of the solution then you become part of the problem. Have faith (if not in God, then in humanity, karma or whatever) that if you set a good example, others will follow. Be "that person" who not only puts your shopping cart up, but clears out the entire lot of abandoned shopping carts from lazy customers and just observe how people's behavior around you changes. Be a better person, it might just catch on.

Flirting, maybe I'm just crazy...

Webster defines flirting as "to behave amorously without serious intent". Flirting isn't about sex, it's about displaying emotional intelligence. When you see men in an office "talking smack" to each other about an upcoming sporting event, technically they are flirting. The same outcome occurs if the man-flirt becomes too heated verses when a mixed sex flirt situation becomes too heated. Modern society has become so twisted that we have come to confuse the terms "flirt" and "harass". Apparently, our work force consists of those who are not capable of understanding this difference.

Our society would do much better to focus on equivalency rather than equality.

I had this thought after reading this article and started reading comments:
