i think the point i'm passively making is that people lose shit all the time, but in the end who really gives a shit? can that guy not afford a new pair of $40 sandals? of course he can. is some geek having iPhone's inevitable 4g phone a few weeks early because he found it hurting apple's stock prices? of course not.
who really gives a shit?
an underlying subjective thought i have concerning both circumstances is that it just seems so typical of human nature to feel a sense of entitlement to THINGS. petty, easily replaceable possessions that no one will ever care about 6 months from now. it feels so very...selfish.
another thing about the whole ordeal (regarding apple) that bothers me is that apple is a CORPORATION, not a PERSON. if i had a dollar for every phone that i lost in a bar...i'd probably have $6. but, that's besides the point. i will tell you what i didn't get however: i didn't get an LAPD task force willing to break down the door of the conniving waitress who i'm certain swiped my razr off the table the minute i walked out the door.
maybe i'm just tired of big corporations with deep pockets and long reaches getting special consideration because of who they know or how much money they have to spend.
