The Ignorance of Society
Posted Sep 14, 1999
I was on the bus last week and over heard a conversation between two old ladies (always a good source of amusement). They were discussing why brown sugar wasn't as sweet as white sugar. They came to the conlusion that some of the sweetness had to be sacrificed when they put the browness in!
Two days later I was heading home on the train, the day after a programme with trevor MacDonald had been talking about Gulf War Syndrom. On the program they had been talking about how depleted Uranium had been used to make the shells, and was contaminating the soldiers, and the poor civilians being bombed, and causing them to have Leukeimia (i could also rant about how infactual and biased this programme was, but thats another story). On the train I overheard yet another conversation, this time two young(ish) blokes talking about how America was making poisoned bullets, with cancer on the tip, and if you were shot by one of these bullets you would not die form the wound, but instead you would "catch" cancer, and die from that.
Gah!
People are soooooo thick!
Arggghhhhhhh!
