Watching history being made and hearing Barack Obama say how 60 years ago his father may not have been served in a local restaurant I wondered if a country whose Presidential Oath ends with the words 'so help me God' will ever elect an atheist.
On the subject of America, I saw Dan Gilbert (of what makes people happy fame) talking about the USA's reaction to 9/11. America's borders have never been more heavily guarded yet, in the 12 months following 9/11, twice as many people as were killed in the twin towers perished in road accidents due to the increased traffic caused by a fear of flying. America was guarding the door while the boogie man was already in the house.
We've grown complacent about people dying on the roads. Nutters flying plane loads of people into a tower block was something we never imagined would happen. Cancer is the same story. 1 in 3 of us will get cancer, so the stats tell us. So where's the war on cancer to rival the war on terror? It doesn't exist. Cancer is a fact of life. 3 out of 4 grandparents. My father-in-law. And statistically at least one of me, the wife, or our two kids will get it.
I put this ad together using clips from YouTube. Post your opinions below.
