Things to be alarmed about

"Richard is alarming me," Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "bouquet") told her neighbor on "Keeping Up Appearances."

In the last few days, I've posted about 2 alarming things: cyber attacks and global water shortage.

The former appears to be a real threat, but gets little or no attention from the media.

The latter seems to be along the lines of "The beach is collapsing! Oh no! The $22 million water/sewer system is in danger!"

All over the papers, people rushing here and there ... and who builds cities (or any type of structure) in the sand anyway? Oh ... sorry Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada ...

So what does this tell us, if anything? (I mean the hype over one and not the other, not the sand deal.)

It tells us what has always been true - the newspaper industry is in the business of selling papers...
