Reply To: Cash or Credit?

Logician: its an interesting question, and i did think about it while writing this piece. We do, indeed, have to make assumptions to get through life expeditiously, but i think the problem with the man in the power suit was how he presented his assumption to the rest of the store. he didn’t have to be so rude. note how the old man is perceived by the man in the power suit, as some old fogy, some nutty old demented weirdo unworthy of the time being afforded him, because the man in the suit was so much more important.

By the way, this comes across in the…unedited…version more strongly. as this was written for goyim in my writing class, i took some liberty with exactly how peppery the man’s language got. obviously, that had to be changed for yeshivaworld.

as for what Daas Yochid said, he’s right, but that was a mistake that apparently evaded the censor.
