Let's Hear Some Good News

I just got done reading what was possibly the most depressing article ever. The first few lines are:
"It would be a lot easier to enjoy your life if there weren't so many things trying to kill you every day. The problems start even before you're fully awake."
The article is called "How Americans are Living Dangerously." Here's a link in case you want to be totally depressed on purpose.

I also looked at CNN. It appears that dork of a country--China--has blown up a satellite--on purpose. Apparently it was bothering them being up above the earth so high that they just had to knock it down so that the idea of a useless satellite in space wouldn't keep them up at night. Well, that would be quite all right with me except that CNN/Time says, "The James Bond-style exercise left a several-hundred- meter-wide cloud of scrap metal floating around in space. Some of the debris could pose a threat to spacecraft passing through the region, scientists say, and will remain a problem for hundreds of years to come. And there will be repercussions on Earth, too." So, really, they didn't get rid of the satellite completely. They just broke it up into a million little pieces much like James Frey or Mike Teavee from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Here's something else that's ticks me off: the article never says what the repercussions on Earth will be. Is this going to affect the weather? Really, we don't need to be shooting things out of the sky. Just let them stay up there, China.
