    Lose the cynicism.  I say: lose it or it will never go away…

    “Iran's
    embassy in France said about 10,000 people might have been killed in a
    powerful earthquake in the ancient city of Bam in southeastern Iran on
    Friday.”
         - China View

    What else should you have expected if you lived in a place called ‘BAM!’ ?

    Other places to avoid if you know what’s good for you :

    Disaster Peak Reservoir, OR

    Hazard, NE

    Tornado, WV

    Calamity Ranch, NV

    Terror Trail, CO

    Explosion Lake, WI

    The Apocalypse (peak in the Revelation Mts.), Alaska

    Tidal Wave Church, KY (do they expect one to reach their doors?)

    Rape Place, ID

    Destruction Island, WA

    Morgue Fork, KY

    Smallpox Well, TX

    Murder Hole, VA


    (All above locations were randomly ‘top-of-my-head’  located by me through the USGS National Mapping Information search form.  However, I was unable to locate an ‘Orgasm Chasm’.  That is really hard to believe.)

    Remember
    that ‘trampled’ Wal-Mart Christmas shopper from a week or so
    back?  The one that became a symbol of the dark side of marketed
    materialism?  Well, it looks like she’s an appropriate symbol for
    the dark side of litigation, too:

    'Trampled' Wal-Mart Shopper Has History Of Injury Claims
    Report: Woman Has Filed 15 Previous Claims, 8 At Wal-Mart Stores

    Remember the slogan: “Shop until you drop.” ?  Apparently, “Drop so you can shop.”  has its advocates, too.

    Do you believe in Robin Hood?

    "Dennis
    Cheatem, 47, went so far as to buy a used cable company repair van,
    prosecutors said, and was known around his neighborhood as "the cable
    guy."

    Cheatem
    claimed to be a modern-day Robin Hood, telling authorities he provided
    cable to needy families with children.  But in at least one case,
    prosecutors say, he stole cable service to turn a profit."
         -IndyStar

    Cheatem…hrm…do you still  believe in Robin Hood??

    So…when
    is Xanga going to come out with “The Best of Xanga” hardcover for
    $19.95 that you pre-order and then, lo and behold, your very own “best”
    post (which you indicated in your order) is there right along with all
    the other pre-paid 'renowneds' of Xanga? !!!
