Measure of a Society
What does it say about a society when candy bars come with direction on how to open them up. Do we have people totally confused by the paper that they believe they need to open their candy with a blow torch or maybe a crowbar? Have candy bar makers been sued in the past because someone starved to death because they were unable to tear the packaging since it wasn't properly labeled with direction on how to rip paper?
I can see this turned into a class action lawsuit. They probably had to send out letters to people asking them if they ever had trouble opening a candy bar. Problem is the people never responded because they couldn't open the envelope that contained the letter. In fact 90% of those who survived their ordeal with the candy bar died of paper cuts from the letter about the class action lawsuit.
This of course would lead to another lawsuit against the envelope maker and glue maker who made the adhesive that sealed the letter. And for good measure they threw in the post office for allowing the letters to be mailed through the post office. Does all this labeling and lawsuits mean our society is getting stupider and softer??
Hey where you going? Get back here... bye for now.
