How can we all come in here, and forget how many totally devastating things actually happen in the real world? Well, I for one don't forget or miss most of what hits the news services. The news channel is running on the tv behind me while I work, so I tend to keep current with most of the disastrous things that happen. Have you ever noticed how the news readers' smile gets wider when they have totally disastrous as opposed to just bad news to deliver? They're like lounge singers, the worse it is, the bigger the smile. I suppose they must believe that a happy smile softens the blow. Or they get some sort of perverse pleasure out of bad news. Hrrm, maybe, looking at how much good news there isn't, it is the latter. (wanders off to get more chocolate coated coffee beans)
