A 24-year-old man was arrested after he "punched a 78-year-old man in the face" over free Nutella waffle samples at a Burbank, California Costco.   Something about the older man asking the younger man to not take all the samples.   story             People, people, people ... come on.        



Principles in the type:  "Reactions have focused on enacting more and stronger regulation.  Perhaps that may dissuade some from unprincipled conduct, but others will simply get more creative in their circumvention.  There could never be enough rules so finely crafted as to anticipate and cover every situation. . . . In the end, it is only an internal moral compass in each individual that can effectively deal with the root causes as well as the symptoms of societal decay."    D.  Todd Christofferson
