Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda...

One of the most thought provoking ideas I've ever heard came from Jurrasic Park. I don't remember the exact phrasing, but the gist is just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Two cases in point:

Just because as a state of the U.S. you can protect your borders doesn't mean you should pass a law that can only be enforced with racial profiling. I'm looking at you, Arizona.

On a lighter note, just because you can use a popular Top 40 hit during a badly made company video presentation, doesn't mean you should pick a song that is wildly inappropriate like Kings of Leon's Use Somebody. I mean seriously. An angsty love song for a corporate congratulatory luncheon? Not to mention the predominate lyric being 'use somebody' which I don't really think is the message they want to send in the insurance world. At least not publicly.

Talk about WTFery.
