New minimum wage

"The minimum salary for players in the major leagues is rising $9,000 this year to $327,000.

The 3.5 percent increase is due to a cost-of-living escalator in baseball's labor contract. The minimum was $300,000 in 2003 and 2004, then rose to $316,000 last year."

327,000 - 316,000 = 9,000... interesting math.

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.
