5 unfortunate submariners, 8000 other americans died yday

Was sad the mini submarine imploded killing all 5 aboard, yday or day before.

Was sad 8,000 other americans died yday as well, mostly due old age I suppose.
Of the people who died in the submarine tragedy, their ages were 58, 77, 19, 48, 61.
Was sad 25,000 people died yday in India, mostly due old age I suppose.
Was sad last month, and prior month after month, dozens, hundreds of people died trying to escape persecution by sailing across the Mediterranean sea seeking asylum in friendly countries. These deaths were met with scant coverage & shoulder shrugs.

8,000 more americans will die today, tomorrow, and likely every day for the rest of our lives, and only a tiny fraction will get national recognition or saturation TV coverage, or examining the way they died, how much money they made, or how important they were or were not.
This submarine tragedy is a novelty for TV producers and TV audiences, why it has gotten so much attention the past 4 days, a novelty which cable networks are exploiting for bizarre reasons, imo,

It was sad sure, but pardon me for not getting too emotional or distressed or dwelling upon the particulars. I heard all I needed to hear in 30 minutes tv coverage. They died instantly no pain no suffering, which is far better than most of the other 8,000 americans & hundreds of thousands of earthlings who died some in agony, others in some sort of discomfort.
People die every day, this was simply a novel way to go.

McCy Mouth, Mouth of the Houth

McC----y aka McCy aka Mickey

I think a great gift would be a colostomy bag for under his chin to catch what spits out of his big mouth regularly.
Ditto for trump and 2/3 republicans in congress and state legislatures.
