We are so predictable. If Edgar Cayce had an Internet connection he wouldn't need to rely on that creepy trance-like state he so perfected. Because lets face it, trances make you look about as cool as does riding a Segway.
But seriously, what makes us so predictable? I'll tell you. It's the fact that, as mini-experts, we feel the need to take turns weighing in on every currently life-changing and magnetic-pole shifting issue (which in all honesty, we rarely add any valuable insight into anyway). Punditry is not exclusive to cable news.
And because of this, after reading the latest breaking news to come out of our little bubble, I came to the realization that I am my own modern day Edgar Cayce (Edgar Cayce 2.0 is just too easy), since I happen to know exactly what will fill my RSS reader for the next week or so.

We have a habit of regurgitating talking points worse than the Republican Party. For a group of people who hate being labeled, we sure talk about it incessantly. For a group of people who think that this label is a nonsensical buzz word, we sure make a habit of trying to turn it into an industry.
Note: I am not going to refer to the Internet in version form.
If we feel that this ridiculous illustration of what we do is far from a valid description, then why give it credence by continuing to talk about it? There comes a point where we perpetuate the common perception. It lives on, because we keep feeding it.
Yes, this is a little snarkier than usual, but sometimes I have to give myself a reality check. I figured I would also extend the favor. Now excuse me while go I wash the irony from under my fingernails.
