Alright stop, collaborate and listen...

We take everything for granted. I don't want to get on my soapbox and tell everyone how thankful they should be for electricity, cable, cars, jobs, money, food, etc. That's obvious (or "OBVS" if your an internerd). Instead I present you with the Top 5 Unsung Luxuries of the Civilized World. Relish in the thought that without these simple truths the civilized world would be anarchy; an ubearable place to live.

Top 5 Unsung Luxuries of the Civilized World

1. The ability to stand in line - From an early age we are groomed to stand in line and wait our turn. We'll get what's coming to us. Let's face it, without this your AM trip to the local 7-11 or Starbucks would be like an ambushed Somali food convoy.



2. A good nights sleep - Without a good nights sleep people become irritable. Irritability leads to anger, anger leads to violence, and violence leads to the darkside (Credit: the Yoda in me). Why is a good nights sleep indigenous to the civilized world, you ask? Air Conditioning/heat - I know, this goes along with electricity, which I said I wouldn't mention, but have you ever tried to sleep when it's +100 degrees or -30. It sucks. Not to mention animal attacks and rival tribesmen with machetes. We sleep pretty easy.



3. Closets (and more recently plastic storage bins) - Without closets our stuff would be everywhere. It is difficult to imagine ample closet space in adobes and straw huts. A more recent development in the "stop stuff from being everywhere war" is the plastic storage bin. Instead of hoarding boxes to put stuff in you can buy plastic bins to "store more efficiently". You can even purchase color coded bins - red and green for christmas, black and orange for halloween. I wonder what effect the production of all these plastic bins are having on our environment; no I don't.
   
   
4. Holidays/days off - Plain and simple, if your job is working the fields, hunting to feed the family, gathering firewood so you don't freeze to death, or defending your piece of the jungle from attack you are not all that ticked that you have to work on Columbus Day. As a matter of fact, you're working on Christmas and Thanksgiving, too.
   
   
5. R Kelly's Wit and Wisdom - Nuff said.
