Going It Alone

*Aug. 10, 2003.

What is it with people's reactions when we go it alone?
If you go into a restaurant alone, it feels like everyone in the place just stares.
Ask for a single movie ticket and the vendor just might try giving you two.
Go on a peaceful hike alone and those that pass you
May look at you strangely and wonder why you're not in a pair.
News flash! to all the out-going people.
Some of us like to spend a little time alone--
Personally, other people slow me down when I'm on the run--
Heck, I've toured dozens of States on my own.
I'm comfortable with myself and it's easy to keep track of me.
Anyway, what's the big hang-up with going it alone?

Hi J.W.,

I can so relate to this. I often go to the movies alone because I prefer to not have people sitting next to me. If I go with someone then they absoulutely must have their own bag of popcorn. I hate to shop with my girlfriends, they just slow me down and have a completely different style of shopping. Plus, they usually have a gaggle of kids along. So I wind up keeping on eye on the little ones while they try on everything in the store. Okay...sorry for the long review. I just thought I would let you know you're not alone in "going it alone."

The New Debtors' Prison by Paul Lonardo

While Debtors prisons no longer exist, many people continue to be persecuted for crimes related to poverty or inability to repay money owed to municipalities. This practice remains in an injustice that needs to be rectified.
