terrorism isn’t everywhere

I’ve spent more than a week marveling that there has been no coverage of the terrible threat of global terrorism, chiefly because the world has had it driven home that when Mother Nature wants to create havoc, she can kill fifty times as many people as the 9/11 terrorists with just a little slip of a tectonic plate.

Ah, I thought, perhaps the world will start to see some perspective, get a realistic view of the world and how dangerous it really isn’t.

Then I tuned into Fox News, to see what it was like. Oh dear.

Apparently the current big news story in the USA is a U-haul rental van that is parked in a main street in Miami, near a government building, and is being speculatively investigated by robots.

Here’s a tip guys: If it turns out to be a bomb or something, then it’s breaking news that deserves to cut into other news stories with flashing red terror headlines. Not before. Until that time, it’s just bad parking.
