When I was a young boy, ten or so, I was in NYC with my parents. My father hated it, he worked there, my mother thought it glamorous, she did not work there. I recognized someone across the street. I was all noise and wanting to saying Something to them. My father set a gentle hand on my shoulder and said, "Charlie, those people deserve time alone with their family". To this day I leave people alone unless we are in the check out lane at the grocery store together. All I expect from them when I see them perform is All Their Damn Loot. I want all their skills there for me to see and appreciate. I do not see what the entertainment value is of watching someone's, anyone's life dissolve around them. Very good article by the by... have a Happy New Year ....
