warning: aggressive ranting ahead :D. remember the cartoon sheep in the big city? with the lost sheep looked for by the military? private public and general specific were after sheep, the main character, but he kept escaping them. oh, the wit! oh, the irony of that cartoon...unfortunately, there are loads of sheep in a big city. and that would be a good thing, if only they would rise to cartoon-sheep's level of intelligence.
as it happens, a great mall opened in my city today. just across the street from my block. people flocked to it like sheep. not too bad. but they stared blank-eyed or round-eyed, like sheep. they walked like sheep, stepping on your toes if you didn't get out of the way. they drove like sheep, driven by policeman and honking. and they even bleated like sheep, or that's how it sounded to my strained nerves. and i might not even have realised. i wasn't
planning on going against the stream today. but the cosmic joker had it that i had to walk in the opposite direction of the pouring of the crowd stream. and i couldn't help marvelling at and getting frustrated by all the sheepishness.
