Life's a bitch. You can sit around and worry about it, or you can live and enjoy it. I don't worry about any of the things listed. I can't control most of them except intake of fat and salt, and staying out of hurricane country during hurricane season, so why spend any time worrying? The whole notion of dread is crazy to me.
People worry about the bird flu so much yet the common flu kills 36,000 Americans every year!.. crazy.
something that i was thinking as i was reading that piece was how many people really are worried about the bird flu, or are still worried about ecoli or about mad cow disease? I mean they use phrases like "agonizing over". Seriously, who is agonizing over those things? I think half of that article is just to spark alarm with people.
a frightening number of people WERE truly freaked out about that shit. the article itself pointed out how it faded and now nobody thinks about it. but the initial panic was ridiculous. it was all over the news... the next plague! americans eat that shit up with a spoon. it's why we have negative campaigning. playing to fear is such an effective way to paralyze people. you convince the public your opponent is a baby-murdering, fag-loving, terroist supporting liberal and they vote for you without even checking what your stances are.
hehe, my ex's family still has water and toilet paper and canned goods stocked in their bathroom for that. they added duct tape when rummy announced it would save them from a chemical terrorist attack on hicktown, ohio.
sad thing is, im not joking. the people described here DO exist, in large numbers. it's why ive lost a lot of faith in america.
Man, i almost forgot about the duct tape! Funny stuff!
then why are the democrats in control now?
