We are living in a society based on individuality at its very core.  You would not be hard pressed to find countless historical examples of great American figures telling people to cut against the grain, “Go West”, or take “the road less traveled by.”  And there is merit to these rallying cries. They’ve been a foundation that have pushed people to be innovative and creative and many more adjectives that refer to our need to be different.  We are a culture built on being true to our innermost selves, allowing for strange idiosyncrasies to manifest themselves in the oddest of ways.  But therein lies the rub.  Maybe we’ve taken it a little too far.  Can you say Avril Lavigne?  There is a difference between taking the road less traveled with the goal of ending up somewhere, and getting lost and not asking for directions. The land of the free may be too free for the discretion of some.  Oh, they aren’t hurting anyone, and they deserve to express themselves however they see fit, but below is a list of some roads that should remain less traveled by.

As you can see, there are a lot of paths that should remain less traveled by.  There are a TON more that I can’t think of so if you email me at joey@blommit.com I’ll add them to the list with your credit.
