Cell-Phones and why they suck.

The year I was born cellphones were released. The ones with suitcases were the first. Now our "handy dandy" cellphones are easily hooked onto our ears and fit discreetly hidden under women's hair. This creates the illusion that they are talking to themselves or schizophrenic. What an appealing concept. I don't care what anybody says but unless you're a doctor or a drug dealer, you don't need a cell-phone, or a pager. It astounds me that people (most likely including yourself) will pay an extra bill a month, risk getting brain cancer, and getting into car accidents for the sake of a ball and chain, bought solely for everyone else's convenience. Now you can get guilt tripped when you don't pick up the phone because the person calling you knows it's on you. I like being able to live my life and come home to get free messages. Sure they're handy if you're having an emergency, but think about it, how many cellphone conversations have caused accidents, and how many have saved lives? Not to mention the cancer risk they have been found to cause. I saw a Buddhist Monk the other day on a new cellphone, he also had oakleys on. Another lady came through my line at the grocery store and I thought she was saying something to me until she said "girl" in reference to the person she was speaking to, on her hidden cell-phone. Another guy I saw at the bank was holding up the line beacause while the bank teller was trying to help him he just kept talking on his stupid phone and held his index finger upward to the woman behind the counter. Honestly people, if you're planning on multi-tasking to the point of blatant ignorance of your fellow man in front of you, you shouldn't own a cell phone. Annette and I saw a middle-aged couple at a bagel shop and the whole duration of their meal consisted of the wife talking on her phone while her husband ate in silence with his head down. I only pray that someone famous like Oprah starts bashing cell-phones, or someone like the president gets cancer from one. When the men of America noticed that President Kennedy never wore hats, they were practically erased from our culture. Now all you see are baseball caps and beanies. So why not cell-phones? Maybe instead of wasting all of our money we can get back to treating each other like we are humans.
