we are an odd lot here in the US.. 50 000 times a year mon pop and the kids are visited with death on the the hwy s.. all the rest of us do. is grip because there dead bodys are blocking us from going to where in the hell we are going.. as soon as the police have finished there little dramma game and scooped up the dead all is forgotten..

then the media kicks us into hi drama with storys of 6 miners traped.. two climbers lost an space ships damaged in space..

but we forget soon.. we read about hundred people killed a world apart from us..and just put the paper down and take a nap.. just odd

People die every second worldwide for some pretty asinine reasons. Most completely preventable.

for example.

21 miners die a year in US mines
16 a day die in china

13 kids on average die in the US of starvation and malnourishment
upwards of 16 million die in saharan africa a year.

6000 teens die in the us a year in car accidents.

and my favorite - At least 3 people a year die worldwide by placing their HEAD in a paint shaking machine. Darwin at work there, so I dont feel to bad about those 3 idiots.

Also - I have no clue what point I was trying to make.

Many single car accidents are suspected suicides.
Some are confirmed.
Especially with teenagers.

Paint shaker?
Willingly?
Really?

Gyre - must be the old style ones without the safety door in front, or one with the safety switches disabled!!!.

I have seen a lot of injuries - some of the most horrific imaginable. I can only imagine the damage that would ocue inside of that skull =- or the stupidity of the jackass that put his dome in there.

Suicide blows. Use to think they were quitters, losers etc. Now - I just dont know. I have never hurt enough inside or been depressed enough to contemplate that and as I get older I realize that it is impossible for me to judge as I do not have a frame of reference.

later - 10 days I am playaside, god its here already!!!

I can imagine the damage pretty clearly.

I can't see it happening without someone being forced.
Gangster activity, maybe?
