Might Be, Could Be

News people on television waste a lot of time on "nothing stories". In the last week I've seen and listened to the following: we might get cancer from eating too much of anything. The I hear, "researchers say". What the average person doesn't realize is these researchers receive government grants to come up with some shocking study. If they didn't then no more cash. On tonight's news we heard that cell phone usage might give us brain cancer. Then again, it might give us super human powers or make us virile and potent beyond the age of one hundred thirty. Why, there have been commercials showing some oldster in Rumania eating yogurt. They've had nothing but yogurt since the Tsar ruled Russia. Back when I was a kid, right around Thanksgiving, a report came out that eating cranberries could cause cancer. Another piece of garbage from someone. Maybe it was a pumpkin grower who had a vendetta against cranberry guys.
So, the moral of the story is, don't watch the news and don't listen to researchers who depend on government grants to keep their jobs. Otherwise, and this is the truth, you might get cancer from fluoride. That's another bogus story recently released.
