I was looking around in a collection of files that I’d pre-written to use for blog posts when I ran across one that I’d started writing on Dec 21 and then kept updating until Dec 26, after which I was starting to get sick myself along with being extraordinarily tired and forgot about it.

It’s a subject that many like to stay clear of because of a lot of really nasty things that’s been said and done both because of and about what this or that senseless idiots has done or said. These actions and statements combined with the reactions to them and the retaliations make for a vicious circle where things continue to escalate until some kind of full scale war breaks out.

Over the years I’ve heard all kinds of claims, humorous and otherwise about just exactly what is used in fast food or how much actual meat is used in a particular company’s burgers. However this one is a prizewinner.

But that, my friends is the blessing, the curse that was avoided is something that online oldtimers will remember from years back. It was in the form of an email that made the rounds several times. It also got posted on countless newsgroups and forums. The content was something that made car buyers shiver and think “God I hope that isn’t gonna happen”.

I don’t normally pass on forwards but this one is too good not to. It’s one of those things that comes out of the collision of conspiracy theories and a good sense of humor.
