The KoH bought me a new car stereo for Christmas. It has a remote control. I can reach my arm out and press each and every button on the stereo, but in case I find that too taxing, I now have a remote control to take care of that onerous process. The problem with that logic is that it actually takes me more effort and endangers more lives for me to rummage around in the car and find the remote control than if I'd just reach over and, you know.... push.

We finally replaced our computer... with a laptop computer which came yesterday. It came with a remote control. A device that is intended for me to use On. My. Lap. has a remote control as standard feature.


Just how lazy are Americans anyway?
