Socratic Monologue
The shorts were pretty neatly folded in the bag; I suspect someone returned them as wrong size or something.

I'm sympathetic to the 'ubiquitous crap' hypothesis, but it may be that our routine interactions with the world are getting more multilayered (usually with added services -- I have to use a computer through my ISP to contact eBay and pay with my CC through PayPal so some arbitrage seller in China can drop ship something from Amazon that gets sent through UPS and then the last leg via USPS) and so there's just more opportunities for crap to find us. So it isn't so much that there is more crap, but that we each have more opportunities for crap to cross our path. Sounds like a George Carlin routine.
