* This is interesting (for me anyway) I have been overcome with a complete lack of interest in anything. I am putting it down to the antibiotics and steroids the Dr dished out to me. I can hardly be bothered to type this but I thought if I don't try and get back into it I'll never do it. I now know what the sin of ennui feels like.
I noted with hardly any interest the british media getting excited by the latest educationally relate massacre in the USA. Yet again they feel that if some brit tells the yanks they need gun control they will all say 'hey we never thought of that' and then appear perplexed when they don't. The fact that owning a gun is one of the pillars of the american state does not seem to cross their stupid minds. Not one yank interviewed thought no guns was a good idea and all supported the right to bear arms. Why they thought the yanks might care what brits think was even more perplexing.

* Some statistic came out that 20,000 women per year have late abortions because they don't know they are pregnant. Yeah right. This was accepted as perfectly reasonable by the media. Much of it was attributed to the failure of their method of contraception, how unlucky it should fail during the fertile period, and their continuing to have periods. This figure was used to raise concern that the number of doctors who will perform late abortions is falling. I suspect it has more to do with the failure of their 'Hey I'm pregnant' strategy on their partners and put it in the same category with 'lets get married' strategy of people who have lived together for some time (see below). Otherwise, some one should really look into contraception as it seems to fail at an alarming rate given the number of abortions.
