Take some responsbility!

Do people know how to read, ask questions, do their research, comprehend the information they are being given? Geez people! Have we turned into a bunch of brainless, useless drones?

I am tired of people assuming things they shouldn't, not reading the fine print, asking questions, or taking the time to understand what's being read or heard.  People need to take responsibility -- and not force the information giver into this trap -- for understanding these things, concepts or ideas before they commit to them, make a purchase, or 'objectively' come to a conclusion. 

Without the ability for critical and independent thinking, we will turn into brainless, useless drones, much like the outsourced workers overseas answering our customer service lines when we call.  Unable to think outside the box, unable to see that there are truly ways around obstacles, and unable to understand that things are not as black and white as they seem or supposedly should be.

Even the converse pisses me off.  The lack of information, transparency and the attitude of working with the information given is pretty bad.  This leads to assumptions, and the attitude of being forced to believe that the information available is gospel.  Most of the time, it can be.  However there are people don't take the initiative to ask questions, because apparently "That's all there is to know".  

Sure whatever. 

Don't blame me if your mind refuses to work a little harder to be a little better informed.  It just shows that you're lazy and really don't care until it affects you.

It tis a dangerous thing being a drone.
