What Have We Done

by Alex Finlay

The secret to life is to find something you love and get them to pay you to do it.

Beauty is a skeleton key that opens almost any door. Don’t take my word for it. Studies show beautiful people make more money than smarter people, get better jobs and promotions than more qualified people, and get lighter sentences than other criminals. Throw in some confidence and manners and there’s no place you can’t go—invited or not.

No matter how bad the person, we all cling to the days of innocence we remember from our youth.

Between the overbearing parents who all think their spawn are gifted, the administrators who’ve never spent a day in the classroom yet constantly change the curriculum, the politicians obsessed with what you can’t teach, and having a master’s degree but being micromanaged like teenage hourlies at McDonald’s.

“Have you seen Congress lately? There’s more sociopaths and carnival barkers than legislators.”
