A product of your environment...

Nature vs Nurture. It's been a big fight for much longer than I was in college. The text books that I read about this in looked old and yellowed. That tells me; people have been fighting about this maybe 20 years before I got into college. That is a long time. If you are one of those people that says, "20 years goes by in the blink of an eye" then try this on for size, "take off your pants and put on this paper robe, the Dr. Will be in to see you in 20 years." Blink of an eye my ass, it is a long time.

In all my time learning about this subject in college, nature vs nurture I mean, they don't have a class on waiting for a long time, I learned that every semester at the Admissions Office and in the parking lot, I never once heard it teamed with being a product of one's environment. Either way, you are either a product of your genetic environment, or a product of your surroundings and upbringing. Whichever side wins, it still means you are a product. We all are.

When I realized a am a product, I felt bad. Not because I am a product...But can you image a product with no visible labeling, no warnings, no ingredients list, no logo, no tag line....Nothing. I am sure some would argue that my face or outward appearance are my label. Nonsense. Nonsense is what I would say to that because it is nonsense, I do have a face and all, but when I look for products in the store, I look at labels, I don't look to see if the product has a face. In fact, that is creepy and whoever is thinking it should shut up. Seriously.

I think it is high time, all of us, as products, developed our own tag lines and logos. I liked the tag line: Cleaner, Stronger, Meaner. For me, but I also like the sound of: It's the Boozefortyest! I need to higher someone to market me. Products don't usually have to come up with this sort of thing on their own. I also need a logo. Something simple, elegant, easily recognizable... I think I am going to get a tattooed warning label that says: "Warning: Likes fire." Although, I am not sure where to put it.

This post has homework. If you read the post, you are obligated to complete the homework. If you don't, I will know, and so will the baby Jesus in the manger. Neither of us want to be let down. Post your new personal tag line, and maybe a link to a logo that you design for yourself. Ready? Go!
