at work

im sitting at work, and while i don't have time to actually write an entry, there are a few things that have been preying on my mind lately...

hunger strikes...they always end when someone has a "medical issue." um, isn't that kind of the expected result?

the media...i find it fascinating how quickly the media turns from one topic to another. less than a month ago it was all about piracy. now, you don't see a thing on the topic. unless you are me of course, working hard (haha) for the government.

weapons...it boggles my mind that countries just keep making bigger and stronger weapons. they seem to forget that they live on the same planet as their target, and that one weapon going off essentially means world destruction. and putting the us or a us base in your sights doesn't make you invincible. no, i cant say what brought this last thought, id have to kill you if i did. :-)

footnotes...they can be fabulous when taken into account. however, when they are ignored you don't get the whole picture. and no, i cant explain where that came from either.

swine flu, excuse me, h1n1 influenza...im sorry, but am i alone in thinking the whole world has overreacted? yes, it sucks, and yes it hit mexico hardcore. but here in the us, where we have a better medical infrastructure and go to the doctor for every little thing, don't you think it is a bit much? and egypt killing all their pigs when you cant get it from eating pig? i smell an excuse to get rid of a way of life (pig farming) that is despised by those in charge.

i could go on, and i might later, but now i have to get back to work (reading :-) )
