We who are about to die salute you
In The Colosseum, men would battle one other to the death. All to entertain the rabble.
Today we call that barbaric.
Eleven Americans were killed this week in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Eleven... eleven indiviuals. Eleven soldiers.
Eleven people who walked open-eyed into an adventure which they knew could kill them.
What else happened this (and EVERY) week?
Depending on who's numbers you believe, somewhere between 70 and 1000 people in America died of obesity.
Over 1000 good folk who enjoyed "the tobacco" croaked out this week.
About 115 die in car accidents - every week. Like clockwork... for decades it has been that way.
Diabetes was a major or contributing factor in 190 to 600 or more deaths. Mmmmmmmmm.... Snicker-licious!
and next week - we do it all again... kill... kill... kill... kill... kill... kill... kill...
Sugar... Cars.... fast food... cigarettes.
Ammerrrrrica, fuck yeah.
Let's bring back Gladiator combat.
