Clueless World

Today 170 underprivileged kids were let into the CNE since being refused the previous day with their free day passes because it was for the wrong day. This story was on the evening news because they did not have buses to take them there today. Now how stupid is this, 170 kids show up with free passes and told to go home because it's the wrong day. They didn't have tickets for seats for a game or concert, all they wanted was entrance to the fair grounds. How much intelligence would it have taken for someone in charge to say it's okay come right in, apparently common sense is not very common.

Another clueless story, this city of Toronto couldn't open a splash pool until they found a lifeguard. When it did open it had two life guards watching the kids. By late afternoon they pool was closed because the two life guards had returned to the other pool across the street which remained closed for the morning. A brilliant reporter in this city asked officials why one could not stay at the splash pool while the other stayed at the pool across the street. That takes too much common sense.

Seth Godin has been talking about some of these events and how clueless we basically are. Also he recently posted how someone with common sense let him into the hotel fitness room even though it wasn't open for another few hours.
