04/27/2011 - I hate it that all of this news of tornadoes, tsunamis, etc., and their associated deaths and destruciton are surrounded by happy advertisemeents and even postponed viewing while an advertisement for something like a great vacation is given for 14 seconcds. What about a little dignity for those that have lost most everything, if not loved ones?
With respect to this, I have removed everything else for the rest of this month.
RANDOM DEATH COUNTS:
Anyone have up-to-date counts and reasons for?
