Crazy World

By mid-November 2007, nearly 4,000 U.S. soldiers had tragically died in the Iraq war. That’s 4,000 precious human beings--somebody’s loving brother or sister, or beloved son or daughter. Gone. Forever. On the same date CBS reported that 200,000 people die each year in the U.S. because of medical mistakes. Then the newsreader casually moved on to another item. What--200,000 people! That's 200,000 human beings--someone’s loving brother or sister or beloved son or daughter, mother or father. Gone. Forever. Who needs enemies when you have a friendly medical profession that accidentally kills the equivalent of three full super bowl stadiums each year.
