The government lies about the level of danger of everything now. It is cover your butt. If they don't make an over the top assessment and someone gets hurt then the public is all over them and someone is getting sued. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

The government also likes the public being in a general state of alarm. Everything from claiming your kid will die without a vaccination to having to do an extra search of the little old lady flying on the plane because she was randomly picked. When they do this the same plurality of the public lets them do whatever they want in the name of the public good. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

While I've always thought underwater cave diving would be cool, something still keeps me away.

Well, if it was a political story from Fox, it would say Democratic pond kills two divers. But otherwise be generally factual. I think they've lightened up possibly. Even Donald embarrasses them too much. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

They have changed a lot 4 years ago, they reported the polls showing Obama ahead were skewed Now they conduct their own polls showing Clinton ahead and no mention of skewed polls Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
