I think its the Monkey thing

 

Propagation

 

When I hear that word, I think of Catsup slowly making its way across the plate or slowly spreading over a hamburger.   The odd thing is it also refers to brake lights. 

Cars were just fine, then someone said, “Let’s add another brake light.”  Now we have them above the rear window, or going across the tailgate, or lighting up the children bouncing around in the backseat.  

We have an abundance of lights telling people we are stopping and the propagation of that invention seems to have spread much faster than catsup ever has.  Suddenly they were on every car being produced.  Like intermittent whipers.  “Hey, it isn’t raining that much, maybe we should only use the whippers now and then.”  And now, everyone has the option of keeping pace with the weather or not.  

So, what aspect is it that caused the automobile industry to suddenly spring into action?  Was it due to legislation over safety concerns or more of a monkey-see- monkey-do kind of thing.  

“Hey, they’re doing it, so we better.”
