Let’s talk about why some people can be soooo… for lack of a better word, dumb. I'm sure most of us heard about the 3 (hope it's wasn't 4) hikers who died on a mountain about 2 weeks ago and a Helicopter Rescue Crew of four who crashed trying to save them. Well, I'm not saying these people were dumb, no not really. If they want to risk their lives for sport it's up to them. It's just sad that the rescue crew got hurt, all four of them.

Actually, the absurdity I refer to today is the couple who went atop a Washington Mountain to get married yesterday! Two of them were blown off the mountain by high winds and landed in the hospital. Talk about love pains. Can someone explain to me what’s romantic about standing at the top of a mountain, freezing and the nearest rest room is left up to one’s creativity? Or, maybe it’s just their way to make sure that they had a small wedding? What I’m trying to say is, they certainly would have had to pay me to come and freeze my butt off up there, if I was invited!

Then, also there is this news report I heard yesterday that mentioned that, about 1/3 of all Hospitals in the US have fast-food restaurants on their premises. They were complaining that it’s conflicting what Doctors preach about fast foods attributing to high cholesterol, increased heart attacks and obesity. The only thing that came to my mind during this report, was how great it would be if we had McDonald’s or Wendy’s at our hospital here in my Island. Damn! You Americans really have things good - in the food department - to be complaining about the locations.

You see the way I see it, it’s all about the money. It’s quite logical to think that the people who love fast-foods and actually gobble the stuff down on a daily basis are the ones that lay in a lot of the Hospital beds. Can’t you see the wicked grin when the fast-food giant’s say, “Hmm, this could just be a good killing here!” Well, I can. They're at 1/3 of the Hospitals and if these giant’s had their way they would be at every hospital.

Think about this, next time you align a ‘nice’ greasy burger between your teeth. They feed you up for the ‘kill’, then when you’re almost dead in the Hospital they cash-in again. Hey, sorry if I’ve spoilt your lunch plans. Maybe, someday day you’ll thank me. Who knows?

Honestly, I have much more to write about, but I’m lazy today. Be sure to check back thehayden.org soon because when you’re looking for original content, it’s here. Have a pleasant day everyone.
