1) 1 in 4 teenage girls has a STD.
If this were true we should start watching our children more closely. We used to
have chaperons. Not a bad idea.
2) Drink 8 glasses of water per day.
Why would anyone put such a burden on ones kidneys ? Perhaps, in very hot
weather a glass or two might be in order. Maybe athletes might drink a few glasses.
Some people ( me ) drink 1 or no glasses of water per day and seem reasonably
healthy.
3) 2,000,000 American children go to bed hungry every night. Where are these
kids ? Where are the parents ? I thought we had social programs to take care of this
supposed problem. What a bunch of baloney !
4) There are 5,000,ooo homeless in the US.
Yes there are some homeless persons and they are a problem. They are hard to
count. Since they are always out in the street it is easily imagined that the
statisticians over estimated the numbers. That is my theory

HAVE WE GONE CRAZY ? (Confirmation )
I am not alone. Todays Drudge Report indicates that there is widespread
disgust with the Defense Department's granting a huge contract to the French company.

HAVE WE GONE CRAZY ?
We would be singing "God Save the Queen" today if the French had not intervened
in our great revolution. They didn"t love us much at the time but hated England with whom they were at war. But we did owe them a great debt of gratitude.
That debt was repaid in WW I. It was repaid in WW II with interest. Post WW II with the
Marshall plan we repaid the debt once again, this time with compound interest at a
usurious rate.
And yet today the French do not love us. Perhaps they envy us our world position. Their
puny military and ever shrinking power on the world stage must rankle.
Why, you might ask, does that make us crazy ? Here is why. Our military granted a contract for $100,000,000,000 ( That's one hundred BILLION ) to the French company that makes the
Airbus . Boeing, one of our stellar companies, was quite able to fill the order for tanker aircraft for the US Air force. So the French industry gets a much needed shot in the arm. Our international balance of trade takes another hit. Why are we helping them?
So, are we crazy or am I missing something ?
