    But has anyone else noticed the terrible and depressing news lately?

    Suicides, Mass Shootings, Murder, etc.

    none except for crappy hub caps and floor mats.
    Seems to me that the news is ALWAYS bad. Ever notice how on the nightly news the "good" story gets saved for last, and even then its like 30 seconds long? I suppose good news doesn't sell very well.

    Bad news about other people attracts attention...and in this age of instant information-They need that many MORE stories about interesting stuff to fill up air time.

    Notice how their are subject matter experts about everything now...and they all get on talk a ton about it...Not really news...but people watch...

    I was thinking the same thing about all the mass shootings and other murders.

    And out here all the killer trees we have around here (since the first of the year, there have been several people die after hitting trees). Plus the people who think they can ignore traffic signs/signals and some innocent person dies as a result.

    We can also add STUPID parents to the list... how the HE!! do you let a 17 month old starve to death... he weighed LESS THAN 9 pounds and hadn't been to the doc since shortly after his birth. But there was plenty of food in the house for the dogs.

    How about the local story out of panama city where the girl was fighting with her ex BF over child custody. She called the cops saying he was into child pornography and that he had pictures on there shared home PC. She asked the cops to search the PC for child porn to support her custody case. What they found were videos of her having sex with their dog. She was then arrested for beastialty. Dumb ass.

    Even across the world. In Italy an earthquake has killed up to 200 so far. That number will only increase. Sad to hear.
