watch out in times like these...

Be wary of people who think theyve got it all figured out, that they have their finger on the pulse of things, and they over-use the word quality.  I cant help but feel the need to be suspicious when people talk about all manner of subjects with equal authority and proclaimed knowledge

At a recent lunch, the term quality was used over and over, from education to TV shows!  At one point, this observer had to ask for excuse to retreat to the restroom (fortunately the lunch didnt come up for an encore).  When a person projects an air of authority and provides literally all the answers, its time to back away.  Theres usually no insight into individual circumstances or awareness of much outside their little corner of the universe.  When that gets projected to a variety of seemingly unrelated topics, one has to regard such people as arrogant, obtuse, and decidedly self-important.  And not worthy of much future contact.
