Choose a topic based on the length of your run and begin to debate while passing the miles away!
1. If a young man in his twenties, seemingly of good health, is smoking a cigarette near the exit of a Walgreens in Lincoln City, Oregon (any Walgreens would actually do) and at the same time begging for money should I donate?
My belief is that if you can afford the $7.00 or so it costs to buy the cigarettes than maybe you aren't that hard up for money? Second, would it have been rude of me to point out to the young man that the McDonald's and several other places within a few blocks were currently hiring?
Jan wouldn't let me roll down the window to discuss this with him.
Feel free to offer your opinions.
2. If a yip-yap dog is constantly barking in the hotel room next to you and the owners aren't there, should you; a) ignore it and go about your business? b) tell the hotel manager? c) beat on the door and scream at the dog to be quiet?
3. If the local casino has a non-smoking section that is about the size of a small house and only offers slot machines, and not the variety or amount in the smoking section, plus is not separated by any kind of wall but only two steps, do you still gamble in that section or give up and join the smokers? Do you complain to management either in-person or via email? Do you understand many Native American tribes make boodles of money from selling tobacco products and actually want people to smoke? Should I not care since for once I walked away with $50 more than I came in with?
I'll be happy to debate these topics and more during a long run on the canal path once back in New York.
