As far as coffee goes, you guys in the states are in need of a few Tim Horton's! Great coffee, but some have complained of stomache pains, so i guess you can't win em all, right?

starbucks jobs are food service jobs and THEY ALL SUCK, but at least in starfucks you can get health benefits AS A PART TIMER. i know a number of people who used to work for starbucks and they were not unhappy-- better than shoveling shit or flipping burgers for sure. what entry level job doesn't suck anyway? do i hear mailroom clerk? do i hear office temp? do i hear dishwasher in a thai restaurant? no?
-- as for the technology bit, let us not get any illusions that technology was ever separate from our lives. fire is a technology. so is agriculture. if you guys think that life never chaged because of agriculture, or the fire, you are dreaming.
oh i can almost hear the ancient cavemen: "hey, that fire technology is making us weak-- i remember when we used to huddle up in the cold and people would freeze to death-- oh, those were the days!"
technology is inseparable from human nature.
