Topic Lemmings on Parade


        This is the first submission of my column. A smattering of rants and raves and general bitching about the state of the world. There are not many things I am intolerant of… but I cannot abide stupidity. And it is the stupidity of the world I intend to expose…
The weather has been hell. Robin Williams summed it up best when he said, "It's hot! Damn Hot! Hot and wet! Which is fine when you are with a woman, but sucks when you in the jungle!" It is odd, being from New Orleans, people expect me to love the heat and humidity. But I don't. I hate it. I spend my day figuring how to spend the greatest part of my time in the ac.

The heat has been killing people. A little boy, wandered out to the car, opened the door, closed himself in. He died from the heat. A foot ball player for the Vikings, got sick from the heat on Monday. Tuesday, he goes back out, gets sick on the field, and keeps going. He died. These two made national headlines. The papers and newscasters all talked about what a tragedy it was that these people died.

This morning CNN covered the football player story for 15 minutes. 15 minutes. I'll say it again, because it bears repeating… 15 minutes. The country is roasting, people are dying from the heat because they cannot afford to have air conditioning. I mean there are old people on London Broil that cannot even afford a goddamn fan. At the end of that report, the newscaster mentioned that 15 others have died from the heat. 15 others. Once more, I will say it again, because it bears repeating. 15 others have died from the heat.

Now, we have that clear, 15 others die from the heat and all they get is a tagline on the ass end of a special report. These two lemmings throw themselves off the cliff and get a special report. Did I miss something? Someone got mad at me for saying the little boy was a victim of Darwinism. He got into the car, he could have gotten out… Survival of the fittest… or the smartest, seems apt. The child may not have realized, and that is fine. But tell me… what excuse did the football player have?

I guess what I am really asking here is this… Why is it that two people who die from their own stupidity are a tragedy, but the 15 others, who had no place to go, and no way to get out of the heat are just a foot note? Feel free to respond… we might get to the bottom of this…
