TGIF

Yes, I am glad that it is Friday however when I wake up and read news stories like the one that follows, I wonder if life is worth it. That is, what is wrong with some people especially the younger generation? Read on...

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two German teenagers have laid waste to a school, wrecking 25 classrooms with hammers and killing the janitor's fish with a fire extinguisher. The boys, 14 and 17, caused one million euros ($1.2 million) of damage by smashing up furniture and ripping out water pipes to flood the school in the Bavarian town of Fuerth, police said Friday. They also set fire to the adjacent kindergarten. Amid the chaos, the pair emptied a fire extinguisher's contents into the tank of the luckless fish. The boys said they embarked on the three-and-a-half-hour orgy of violence because it was fun, police said. The younger boy said he also hoped that by wrecking the school, he would get out of having to attend. Both of them now face a spell in a young offenders' institution instead.

Fun indeed! What sickness prevails in this world!?!?! No wonder there are wars and rumors of wars and we never break the cycle. Maybe nuclear weapons are a good idea. If properly used we could eliminate the human race and let nature take over once again. That is a drastic "solution" but hey, nothing else seems to work.

And with this cheerful thought in mind I guess I will go to work for one more day this week. Oh, why is it that four day weeks seem as long as five day work weeks?

Cheers...
