To all those people who just love to say that people don’t change, I say, “You are WRONG.” Granted one can’t change another (unless they’re stealth-like and secretly manipulative), but I’ve noticed change in people lately. Big time. A lot has to do with the politics that surround us. Really. Can anyone truly follow through on a “campaign” promise anymore? There’s too much “red tape” and sometimes the ones who notice the change in others should probably just “take matters into their own hands” and do what needs to be done. For the good of their own stress levels. For the good of the country. For the good of the college. And then deal with getting hollered at later?
To all those people, too, who think that believing karma means I have to be a nice person all the time, I say, “Um, not so much chief.” Sometimes, the crappy karma that others have been producing needs to be snuffed out. Stopped. And if I gotta be the one to call them out on that crap, so be it.
Someone who I thought was tough, who would call out others for their stupidity, recently didn’t do so. Complained about it instead. I thought, “What the heck?” So, no more of that… And the next person who says that students are stupid, I may have to “unleash the fury.” Students aren’t stupid; students can be lazy. Just like every other person I deal with on this planet.
What a lovely Friday rant, eh? Yes. Yes, indeed. And I am actually in a good mood.

Good rant! Being the paranoid person I am, I quickly reviewed my comments to be sure I am not one of the persons…..You make a very good argument! People really don’t change.
Bellapple – Great links.
The cartoon of the printer is SO RIGHT ON. Thanks.
OK, on re-read, I see I misread the argument, but never liking to be wrong, I shall reinterpret my comment!
“People” as in MAN don’t change, there will always be idiots, but people can change. I am a good example, I used to be a very mean, petty person, and I like to believe now that I am truly much nicer on the inside!!
Soooo, are you coming with us??
