Ethics “Worse than 9/11?” Example #3!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Sep 11 at 2:39 PM

Remember earlier today when I was grousing about people comparing their problems to 9/11? Well, look at the letter I just received via email!

Dear Editor:

On this sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, a much larger threat to our nation is rearing its ugly head. Researchers at Atlanta’s Morehouse School of Medicine have just reported a rising rate of high blood pressure among America’s children.

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS REAL. And you know what that means: Whenever someone compares their pet problem to the terrorist attacks, I get to add another item to my personal list of things that are “comparable to or worse than 9/11.”
Like… ohhhh, I don’t know… this trampoline accident.
