A Request

Dear Population of the World:

Let's ratchet back the panic a bit, shall we? Everywhere I turn, it's Panic City about one thing or another. Economy, illness, doom, doom, DOOM!!!

From now on, just assume that I get it: we're all going to die jobless, debt-riddled, and infected with several kinds of flesh-eating bacteria and other diseases that plagued us as we wasted away in an economy that would never regain its glory.

Got it. Please stop telling me.

Thanks bunches!

Liz

lets not forget that if those do not happen, we'll all drown as the oceans rise due to climate change

i *heart* brooke.

Seriously! Or the next big earthquake or tsunami. Or some crazy, mass-identity-theft crisis!

All this hype and hysteria is really just making me tune out. Luckily basketball season is starting so I can focus on *something* coming through the television, other than FlashForward and Grey's.

I watched about 5 minutes of news last night, it was all crap like that and it was delivered so poorly I actually laughed out loud several times. Reminded me of the TV announcements in high school.

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't read the paper or watch news much anymore, but it just seems so pointless...
