I recently received one of those emails that we all get from someone who forwarded this "important information" from someone who forwarded it to them, who forwarded it to.......and so on and so on. Anyway, after reading the "important information" and finding myself getting a bit peeved that this is what someone thought I needed to be aware of, I then got a bit more sympathetic (for a moment, I'll be honest). It is indeed terrible that some of you do live in places where you need to worry about things like what type of car is parked next to you in a parking lot or, if you hear water running outside of your house, at night, it might be a serial killer trying to lure you outside to add you as a notch on his(her?) belt...seriously? I read all the "warnings" and there were several and then I looked outside my living room and briefly wondered what it would be like to be that scared and wary and worried every day, all day. I not sure even when I lived in the middle of one of the largest metropolitan areas of North America, did I ever feel that vulnerable--I just didn't. I know, bad things do happen all the time and as many of you will remind me, they do happen everywhere. Well, shall we say almost everywhere. Yes, the 'news' is full of these things and yes, I guess I should check the back seat whenever I get in the car (and thankfully I now know what to do if there is someone there with a weapon -- PANIC) but really, my biggest concern is that now some N-U-T probably got the same email that I did and now has some real good ideas about what to do today. Am I in denial? I sure hope so because its real pretty here.

Hey, URBAN MYTHS!! I get them everyday. . . You obviously don't have a good junk/spam program on your email!!. . .
YOU BETTER BE AFRAID OF THE DARK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HEHEHE

More importantly, why are there refrigerators hanging out along a road?
Yeah,I hate those emails. I am, however, viewed as paranoid by some. Guess it's a matter of opinion. I take my precautions and watch my back; always have. When I explain my reasoning for - let's say walking down the middle of the street rather than the sidewalk when possible - they think I'm paranoid. I think I'm just taking some precaution. I don't REALLY expect someone to jump out at me, but if they were going to, I'll at least have a few seconds warning rather than being an arms' length away. But that, as my father says, will only keep the honest criminals away. There are crazy people out there and one may cross my path and do some damage.
I view it like I do camping and hiking. I pack everything I think i will possibly need, without overloading. I'm prepared, but something unpredictable and bad still may happen.
I try not to worry about that and just enjoy the view.
Like my mother says: Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.
Of course, learning ninja skills is also helpful......
THIS IS MANIFESTATION OF CALCULATION, WHERE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE MASSES UNDER CONTROL, WE MUST KEEP THEM CHAINED TO THEIR OWN FEARS, AND PREJUDICES.
WHAT IS CNN'S STOCK AND TRADE?
WHY FEAR OF COURSE.
QUITE ORWELLIAN REALLY.
YOU HAVE A CULTURE THAT HAS ESSENTIALLY GIVE UP ANY SORT OF SELF EXAMINATION, THAT CONSIDERS THE SUPER BOWL TO BE A CULTURAL EVENT, AND THEIR IDEA OF GREAT LITERATURE IS THE REDNECK'S GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN.
PERHAPS THE GENTLEMAN BELIEVES THE FRIDGE IS IN FACT HIS LONG, LOST TELEVISION SET.
WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE THAT REMOTE CONTROL IN HIS HAND.
IF EVER A PHOTOGRAPH NEEDED A CAPTION IT IS THIS ONE.
HONEY I THINK THE CABLES OUT AGAIN.
P.S. THE CAPITOLS????
I CAN'T SEE THIS @&%#**&% FONT
IS THAT A REMOTE IN HIS HAND???? THAT, MY DEAR FRIEND, IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF... NOW THAT YOU HAVE CABLE. :)
I recognize the hovel!! Was he going to transport a fridge in it? He is probably looking for those antique ice cube trays.
