Yes, I think that Mick Jagger had it right a long time ago only he was referring to the British culture and we just thought he was talking about life. Remember guys he was a teenager when he wrote that song so he didn’t have the benefit of all our life long experiences. He was talking about ice cubes, ranch dressing, an electric plug in his bathroom so he could dry his hair, microwave popcorn, SUVs, ziplock bags, trash cans that match your decor, etc.
The culture in the US seems to cater more to our individual desires regardless of how many people actually want something. Say you want pancakes for dinner. Easy – go to a Pancake Pantry, Waffle House, Bob Evans and order them. No Problem – poof you got pancakes. I am in Gatwick last weekend waiting for my flight at 10:30am. I had eaten breakfast at home at 5:30am and was hungry so I went in a resturant in the food court. I wanted a salad but I couldn’t have that until 11:30 but they had a breakfast pizza on the menu so I thought I could handle that. I ordered and the waiter said they were out of that, they were also out of 2 other things I ordered. I finally asked them what they did have. Eggs. Thats it. Out of 10 things on the menu they had 5. It was a busy weekend, see.
