The August 2-9 issue of Maclean's has an article about a saling instructor who promised his students a fun and enriching cruise but turned out to be cruel and abusive. His students were stuck at sea three times longer than promised, given very little food and constantly berated, among other things. Why did none of them mutiny? They probably could have taken him on.
In the same issue, Jacob Richler tries out a new, trendy drug popular among new agers. It causes horrible halucinations, vomiting and diarrhea. Why would anyone want to take that?
There is an article in the same issue about how hoola hooping has become popular among adults. Many people find twirling a hoop around their body to be good exercise. Even in high school gym class, we used to spin hoops around our ankles and wastes so I don't see why adults wouldn't think it's part of a good workout now.
