The State of the World on this Holiday Monday.

Hopefully today (February 21)  is a holiday wherever you are in the world!  It is here (Family Day)!

So I thought today I would share some "headlines" from a number of online sources attempting to jolt us back into reality after the weekend. 

Since it's a long weekend here and in some other places...it may take a day longer for the effect of these stories to register...and then dissapear like most of these do:

Tens of thousands of people could drink themselves to death in the next two decades unless the British government tightens its control over the use of alcohol, experts said Monday.

Fitness magazine asked 2,400 women if they would sacrifice a full year of sex to be skinny -- and 51 percent said yes.

An analysis of FBI crime data shows that Orlando is the U.S. metropolitan area with the third highest risk of crime...it is tied with Birmingham, Ala....the  five most dangerous U.S. metropolitan areas are listed in order as St,. Louis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Orlando and Detroit.

A pupil has been expelled after he and his friends took a snap of one of them putting their "dangly bits" in a teacher's mug ...the member of staff only discovered the sick stunt after the picture was posted on the internet.
(this one was from the U.K.)

California Governor Jerry Brown is getting serious about his state's $25 billion shortfall...in his latest push to close his state's staggering deficit, Brown has forbidden all state agencies from wasting tax dollars on freebie trinkets like hats and cups

Have a Happy Monday!
