They're Sneaky

It's interesting how we put so much arbitrary trust into certain professions. Locksmiths for instance. You're basically giving a locksmith the means to break into your house and take all your stuff, and nobody ever seems to worried about that. I guess we're just too afraid of offending them. "I don't trust that guy with the only key to my house." "Oh Barbara, you're just saying that because he's British." You know, all those offensive stereotypes. Wouldn't want to be seen as a racist. So we trust some guy to make duplicates of our keys while we go over to the bar next door to get drunk. Awesome.

Same sorta thing going on with plumbers. You know, sometimes. The kinda guys that don't really have any idea what the plumber is actually doing, so they just go off to another room and hope that he figures it out. But we're very trustworthy of this guy in the trucker cap. He won't steal anything. And yeah, he almost certainly won't. Isn't that weird? By that I mean, isn't it weird that I think it's weird that he isn't going to take all your stuff? Does that make any sense? Probably not. What I'm saying is, society has basically programmed us not to trust anybody, because ANYBODY COULD BE A SERIAL KILLER YOU JUST DON'T KNOW. But sometimes, we just totally forget about that. I have absolutely no idea what the point I'm making is.

That kinda attitude is all over the place on the internet, isn't it? On the internet, anyone could be a pedophile. You just don't know. And they're all going to come and rape you. And you know, this would be harder to argument if the internet would stop proving it right every other week.
