One day I planted myself in a public area downtown where a lot of brown-baggers eat their lunch. As I sat and listened, I realized that casual, meal-time conversations bring about topics that people are oddly quick to seize and preposterous generalizations are formed, yet never challenged.
These are some of the gems I overhead:
“Those doctors will kill you if you let them. They don’t care.” “Everyone hates their job; they just keep it to themselves.” “I’ve worked with that guy before; he has no idea what he’s doing.” “There’s no reason for them to act like that. They just want attention.” “This was all planned by the higher-ups. They watch us constantly.”
