Now, let me see:

(1)	A long time ago, my wife and I would buy an old car, say ten  
years old, rebuild and maintain it ourselves. Eventually, though,  
cars got to be too complicated for us and so we still buy old cars  
but now we let the shop spoon-feed us.

(2)	In the name of not "spoon feeding adults", the current trend in  
this country is to want to "de-socialize" it.

Should I go on?
