The guy in the video looks enough like the victim at a casual glance for ID.

Malls have nothing I am interested in and quit going there years ago. Big box stores have gotten so big they have driven me away. The convenience of online shopping has pretty much replaced any shopping done locally outside of groceries.

The problem lies in not being predictable. The worst is when people let their kids wander on the bike trail. You have no idea where they are going so you have to drop from 15-20 mph to 3 mph. Even then they usually wander right in front of you.

I guess I'll throw a bunch of old monitors in the truck the next time I make a recycling run to the landfill. They are not going to make any money doing this, but keeping this out of the landfill is the right thing to do. Especially if they aren't shipping the electronic scrap off to China for them to burn.

Obviously, he has never been in the real world. My sister graduated with a BA in mass comm 20 years ago, and had had a string of barely over minimum wage jobs ever since. Her husband is currently working on a Doctorate in Native American studies and has had the basically the same results so far. I spent some time in the military, have a year of college, and make a lot more an hour than both of them. I actually learned something that you can make a living at. Speaking of that, I have worked with an awful lot of educated idiots. A degree doesn't necessarily make you smart, nor will it put food on the table or a roof over your head.
