The Center, oops I mean, Centre of the Universe

The planets in our solar system revolves around our sun, a smallish star. Our solar system is apparently revolving around in a big universe that is expanding. So if it is expanding one could conclude that there is a centre from which it is expanding from. This seems basic enough.

That is not how many people think though. I meet them everyday, people who think that the world, no in fact the universe, revolves around them. These are people that can only see as far as their own needs. Their lives are spent demanding that everyone else in the universe meet those needs.

I wrote these words on May 22, 2006 and saved them as a draft because I was interupted and did not finish the thought. Today, December 13, 2006, I, of course, now have no idea where I was going with this but in order to get back to posting. Here ya go, a half finished thought.
