Head in the SAND, or World Events

Me too.

BTW: if the world is ending, might as well go out with a bang, I want 30-minutes with the girl in your avatar.

OK ! At last a business in which DonDiego can guarantee himself an income for life - "Worrying by Proxy". It'd be great to get paid for something he's gonna do anyway!

DonDiego is cogitatin' on his business model, . . . like, does he charge based on the time he spends worrying, or based on the size of the worriment - like worrying about Armageddon is more expensive than worrying about, say, inflation; economic depression is somewhere in between. Perhaps potential customers could offer their preferences.

Anyway, . . . just as an aside, . . . the expiration dates on current production of things like Campbell's Soup and SPAM are already into 2014, . . . Chicken of the Sea Tuna is into 2015! The economic collapse in the US is likely well before then, . . .pr'bly sometime after the November elections. So snidely333 is wise to be purchasing canned goods; just be sure to check expiration dates - low-paid clerks may not stock the shelves with fresher goods to the back, as they should.

Worse come to be, I'll be eating expired green beans and hoping for the best.

Vegas Baby !!!!

Just returned from Vegas and Vegas is THE Cure.

When I am in vegas I do NOT think about war, I do NOT thing about work, I do NOT think about bills and I do NOT watch news events (sportscenter is the choice for me)

I saw people of many nationalities all getting along, all happy it was cool.

I spoke a little German, met 2 very sexy Russian ladies ("sure" they were there on vacation) -saw Peepshow, laughed with people I do not know.


People should keep up with current events; but most will vote based on their current life and economic situation (and the high gas prices are not helping).

Perhaps its all the HITS types are the reason that elections are determined by the candidate who has the most money and can bombard the masses with the slickest ads and most believable lies,oh and makes the most absyrd promises to sucker the people in.

Keep going with your thought process and you'll meet Frank Kneeland to talk about cognitive distortion.

Oh, oh. Great new idea for a TV show. Get someone to pretend they're a Dr., and then guests can come on the show, and the "Dr." can listen to them and then tell them how to fix their problems. I am so going to sell this.

That's not because most voters are uninformed. It's because most voters are stupid....well maybe not stupid exactly....more like 'thinking impaired'.

In case you didn't catch it...my objection is to the premise of this thread..."Head in the Sand" or "Be Informed"...What if it was phrased: When it comes to matters of War and Peace, do you prefer to "Take it in stride" or "Get your panties in a wad over it"? See how that works? So who all's a PIAW type?

DonDiego is a TIIS type.

You can make it even better by having a real Dr. dressed poorly talk to them afterwards trying to convince them the fake Dr. was wrong and see what their final opinion would be.

PS. I already know the answer. People have been taught by our education system for years to trust authority and not to think for themselves.
