I always find it amusing to start the nightly body count when watching the news.

I never ever had any interest in the news, just a big circle of gossip. I prefer LS1tech>MyFoxNews.

I can't stand to watch the news right now with the swine flu hysteria. The media is investing a lot in that swine flu.

The news in general is so depressing, I mean you really have to be glutton for punishment to watch it. Not saying I don't keep up with things but I used to check the news daily, and between the government, the economy, and all the other crap it was always such a downer I had to quit watching/listenting.

Crazy stuff happening lately. Swine flu pretty crazy. About the girl and dad, he deserved either to be arrested but not dead. I was abused a long time ago and **** him. I hate abusers. Dosent really serve him right, but he should of ended up in jail. And about the girl that got killed from the bus, that sucks, but dont you know that you arent supposed to walk out in front of a school bus. Common sense guys.

IF IT BLEEDS IT LEADS is the old reporter's slogan. Death, violence, calamity, hysteria, etc. is what grabs headlines so that's what generally ALL news organizations trumpet.

It's not just Fox, Ross. Even your beloved liberal news outlets do the same thing.

I'm sick of this swine flu hype. The only person to die is a child that came from mexico to the United States. The regular flu killed 800 people last month. Please everyone quit talking about this media hyped bullshit.

Never waste a good crisis ... (Where have I heard this ... hmmmm)

Rule 1 - create a problem of monumental proportions
Rule 2 - Stir up the hysteria by every means possible
Rule 3 - When the people demand a solution - present them one that will take away rights, cost big $$$, and put more power in the hands of bureaucrats.

This is called the Hegelian dialectic ... all the above was referenced from the link below.

I just want to say that I sat in a corner of my house last night curled up in the fetal position as the world is closing in on me.

Should people wash their hands and be careful? Of course but we should do that everyday. Most importantly, watch over your shoulder for "The Man".

I HATE TO BE THE GIVER OF MORE BAD NEWS BUT................




Doctors vs Gunowners

Doctors


(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is


700,000.


(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians

per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. . Dept of

Health and Human Services.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Now think about this:


Guns



(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.

is 80,000,000.

(Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths

per year, all age groups, is

1,500.


(C) The number of accidental deaths

per gun owner is

.000188.


Statistics courtesy of FBI

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


So, statistically, doctors are approximately

9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do..'


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT

ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Please alert your friends to this

alarming threat..


We must ban doctors

before this gets completely out of hand!! !!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Out of concern for the public at large,

I withheld the statistics on


Lawyers



for fear the shock would cause


people to panic and seek medical attention!
