Are We Going to Hell in a Handbasket?

Sorry for the cynicism, but I was debating whether to title today’s post “Should we really be surprised by anything these days?” or “Why the recall of a half billion eggs isn’t just a random occurrence.”

Actually, I think both work well, especially considering:

• “Beetles in Baby Formula Prompt Huge Recall”
• “F.D.A. to Restrict Avandia, Citing Heart Risk”
• “Big Macs Help Teenagers’ Acne Disappear” . . . joking . . .
