I went to Shoppers today to pick up cold medication so that my nose would stop running. Very exciting I know, but it gets better. While I was paying with my debit card, I asked the clerk if I could have cash back as well. The woman beside me asked if I needed money to pay for my cold pills and when I explained that I didn't, I just needed cash to go and get coffee, proceeded to explain to me how coffee causes cancer of the colon! With descriptive terms and graphic imagery. I did not need that first thing in the morning, before I even had a freakin coffee. I'll worry about getting colon cancer after I have my morning coffee, okay?
Then after getting to work and of course, not working but reading stuff online, I read an article in the Washington Post that said:
"Conservative, religiously minded Americans are putting far more of their genes into the future than their liberal, secular counterparts."
Which means that Republican voters are reproducing at a higher rate than Democrats. And that states who voted for Bush have a higher birth rate than states that voted for Gore in 2000.
Thats a scary thought. Since a lot of kids grow up to have the same values, religion, and political beliefs as their parents, this makes me happy that I am not an American.
This makes me wonder if the people who like reality television are reproducing more than the people who don't like reality television, like me? I will soon be horribly outnumbered. Since I can't fight the trend with only my poor ovaries, I may need some help here.

About the cancer thing - nah. In this day and age, breathing causes cancer, especially in London!
About the Republican's - yes. That is very frightening but actually makes sense as not too many Gay people are Republican. I guess, all the straight Democrats better start breeding now.
About the Reality TV - defintely!!
