"The enthusiastic, to those who are not, are always something of a trial."—Alban Goodier

Many years ago my employer called me in to meet a younger man who was applying for a job with our employment firm.  When I was introduced to him he leaped up excitedly, shook my hand, and exclaimed how great it was to meet me.  When my boss asked me later what I thought of him I told him I didn't quite trust anyone who was that excited to meet me.  (He got the job anyway)

In response to a recent topic on my Facebook page I felt the following quote would be appropriate:

"Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated."--Anonymous

I remember a time when one tuned into the news (usually at 6:00 PM only), and expected to be given something truly newsworthy and important to society and the world.  Today it is 24 hours of fluff, self-serving spin for one side or the other, and above all - entertaining.  We certainly have a dearth of entertainment - please give us more!!
