Get out of the rain

You're waiting for a bus. A couple people are standing under the shelter, but you choose not to. It starts to rain.

Do you step under the shelter? Or, do you stand outside and rail about the advantages the other people have?

Obvious to anyone? Maybe not. I was at a cocktail party and was introduced to someone who immediately launched into how the government, media and local football team were all being mismanaged. It was all canned stuff he parroted off some radio show or web site.

Predictably, he got around to how "big oil" was gouging us and still unfairly receiving government aid in all kinds of ways. Fine. If you know that to be the case, go buy energy stock and make the choice of benefiting from it instead of bleating about it.

Step out of the rain.
