Out of touch?
hardly but could we have a little perspective, please...
According to the US Office of Smoking and Health report of April 12, 2002, on average, over the last six years, 440,000 Americans have died per year from Tobacco.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Database 2/12/01, 111,000 of us die from booze each and every year.
17,000 are killed each year and another 17,000 die from drugs (legal and illegal) Then there is the Department of Labor report that states we lose 6,000 in accidents at the workplace.
But the flu???
Sure it's a concern but I would rather Scheiffer had asked Kerry when he was going to sign his "180" release of his military/medical records.
BTW`two sure ways to insure you don't get the flu is to constantly wash your hands and don't get a flu shot! LOL
According to your standards a nuclear bomb set off in a small city would be no big deal. After all you have to have a "little perspective"...after all everyone is going to die someday of something. 1100 American deaths in Iraq. No big deal they signed up for it.
