Overheard Starbuck

"How can you not be in awe of the networks which allow us to ignore 99% of the people we come in contact with everyday? Imagine if we were required to give most everyyone we meet the modicum of respect any human being is do--father, brother, mother, sister, cousin, friend-- we'ld never get anything done. We'ld never get to work. Every commute, every public transaction, every walk down the street--a mosh-pit of meet and greet."
---"I'm imprinted on morning coffee, a steady paycheck, the company car and lately women's volleyball events on tv."
"Imagine if our loyalties were more fixated on human beings then tools like money and possessions?"
---"No one could live that way. We would all perish."
