Isaac Newton once predicted the world would end in 2060. When asked why that date, he said (paraphrased) " so you yahoos will quit worrying about when the world is gonna end".
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

My cousin (not Isaac Newton), predicted that we'd all die of sodium poisoning after watching a group of us salt our food last week at dinner.  My friend (also not Isaac), predicted he would die worrying about it.  Had to be there I guess.
