A Taste of Their Own Medicine

I just read this article over at NyTimes.com and I instantly thought to myself: serves them right. Honestly I think the "boozification" of Rome is an awful thing, but if Italians want to complain about the behavior of tourists in their cities, then they need to take at look at their own behavior while touring other countries. Last year in Ireland you might recall my constant complaints about the horrendous attitudes and overall rudeness of the swarms of Italian students and tour-guides. It was awful, and they stood out amongst countless other nationalities represented on the streets of Galway like no other. I think it just goes to show that most people have no idea that they are being hypocrites when they complain about other people. We could all stand to scrutinize our own actions more often, because clearly we agree about many things on principal, we just don't like to admit our own guilt.
