Some questions...

Over a long period of time I've been troubled about some "truths" a lot of folks take as gospel...

Like this one.

"Boats break. A lot."
 
A phrase found a few times over at The Retirement Project (a blog you might want to check out from time to time) which I find somewhat problematic. Not because it is incorrect (boats and boat stuff do indeed break) but because folks mostly accept this as the way things are without questioning it. What we should be saying is...
 
Why do boats (and boat stuff) break? A lot.
 
Even more importantly maybe we should be asking..
 
Why the hell are we putting up with this sorry state of affairs?
 
Think about that for a bit...
