Last night I'm cooking a really nice cut of organic beef and as I shuffle through the fridge I realize that I am out of A1 Steak Sauce. I run up the road to 7-11 and, although I went there specifically for that, I was mortified to find out they actually carried steak sauce.
Much akin to my belief that placing people in a welfare state ruins them to ever be self sufficient, we have put ourselves in a consumerist welfare state. We expect everything we could ever desire to be available twenty four hours a day just in case I'm cooking a great steak at ten at night and don't want to drive an extra two miles to the all night grocery store. Shame on me, but lordy that was a good steak.
