Anyone Want a 7″ CRT TV? …
When reading this article I thought they were going to be talking about how all the new flat-screen TVs have so many components made from hazardous material that recycling centers are refusing to recycle them. That was not the case. It did remind me about how we have a 7″ CRT TV that we’ve been trying to give away but no one wants it. Eventually we’ll take it to our local recycling center or donate it to our churches upcoming White Elephant sale. Now it just sits on the bench in our foyer.
On a side note, has it raised any eyebrows that this whole swine flu scare is causing people to overreact and do stuff that doesn’t make sense?
From my understanding, swine flu is a virus. The CDC says to wash your hands frequently which makes sense because the act of washing hands with soap and water and drying them off causes any crap on your hands to literally be washed off. What I don’t get is why there is this big hoopla to use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer specifically to combat swine flu. Fact 1: swine flue is a virus. Fact 2: Anti-bacterial anything does nothing to a virus.
Sooooooooo what makes sense here? They’ve actually said swine flu tends to attack those who have healthier immune systems as opposed to those who are weak in health. Aren’t we just putting a huge target on people by telling them to keep ultra healthy? (Is this a secret plot to fix the Social Security problem?) That and is this the same path that health officials went down with the over use of penicillin back in the day? Now due to the lack of foresight we have penicillin resistant bacteria that is plaguing the world.
Could someone fill me in on why all this stuff makes sense to everyone but me.
