Do you remember the first time you saw someone drink bottled water? For me, it was about 20 years ago. My aunt. We all thought she was ridiculous. She was simply ahead of her time. So, here's my idea. Bottled Air. You start running commercials talking about the disgusting amount of impurities in the air you breathe every day. Asthma rates. Cancer rates. Quivering blood cells. Then, you show a person pull out a beautifully packaged pouch. In it, one lung-filling gulp of crystal-clear air. Purified. Packed with minerals that are immediately absorbed by the blood stream to jump-start your blood cells. Live Healthy. Live Happy. Breathe Again. Let the money flow begin.

I am very sick of this statement. I read it often in articles where a person is talking about how they were poorly raised by their negligent parents. They always cover it up with, "But, they didn't know any better. They did the best they could." No, they didn't. You just said that your father drunkenly beat you. That is the WORST they could do. And in lesser cases, it's STILL not true. No one does the best they could. They may not have killed you. But, this shouldn't be admired, and this overused, generic and utterly false statement should never be used again.
