News on demand

I've been reading the newspaper a lot lately, simply because I'm traveling for work so I'm away from my desk and the internet all day. It occurred to me that despite my newspaper reading, I actually have a pretty good idea what's going on in the world, but only in the specific subsections that interest me. This is because of reading RSS feeds. RSS feed reading is essentially news on demand. You choose what you want to read about and go from there. I don't read anything about sports or politics, which take up two big sections of typical newspapers. It turns out I read a lot about technology and money, the latter of which I wasn't really aware of. But after reading through the money section of several newspapers, I realized I had a pretty solid grasp of what the articles were talking about. So apparently I do keep up with current events, but only the ones that I personally subscribe to, hence on demand. #entertainment

Canine imprisonment

I feel like dog owners are actually imprisoners. They drag their animals around on a leash, they yell at them to stop barking and to perform stupid tricks, and they lock them in a cage when it's time to go to work. That last one really gets to me. Why get a dog if you plan to lock it in a cage all day, only to get mad when it has boundless energy when you get home? #nature
