Let’s call dumb, dumb!

cal-0814-cl2-espionage-01Pre-orders for the Apple watch started this morning at 12:01am. This morning on the news they reported people were upset that the $12,000 version they ordered said the estimated delivery date was sometime in August. This is what my friends and I would call a first world problem. That is that people in countries where they don’t even have food to eat are not complaining that the watch, which costs more than they will make in a lifetime, is not shipping by drone for mid-morning delivery today! We have lost all ability to put things in perspective or what some would call common sense. I could blame the twenty-four hour news or special interest groups who blow issues out of proportion for ratings or attention, but really this is all of our faults. We need to get back to calling things that are dumb, dumb. When our children do something wrong at school we have to tell them instead of attacking the school. When the drive-thru forgets the cheese on our burger we can be annoyed, but calling 911 or shooting at the pimple faced teenager running the window is just dumb! Let’s get back to understanding what is really important and stop acting like spoiled children before dumb becomes the norm.
