Well after last week's controversial rant, I decided this week to with a subject that is at least a bit less controversial, and less likely to offend anyone. Unless that is I have some lawyers in my readership :D.

The inspiration for this week's rant is taken from this news story. Basically to quickly sum up the story in a few brief words. The son of one of the Postal workers who died from the inhalation form of Anthrax is suing the hospital he was treated by. The lawsuit, in the amount of 37 Million dollars, is for failing to recognize that he had Anthrax. Keep in mind here that the postal worker in question here was one of the first to die of inhalation Anthrax, and that prior to his death it was not believed that postal workers were in any danger.

In last week's rant I talked about my frustration with the intelligence of the media's questions during press conferences after the September 11th tragedy. The inspiration for that rant came during one of the press briefings that I spoke of there. The inspiration for this week's rant came during the same time frame, but from a much more mundane source. A simple conversation between some friends and myself a few weeks ago.

Our conversation started off simply enough, we were discussing current events and noting that the terrorist attacks brought the whole country closer together. You can't drive the down the street without noticing it. The American Flags on the cars and businesses. Red, white, and blue everywhere you look. The overwhelming voice of Americans support the efforts taking place to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice.
