    Like someone following you around with a megaphone occasionally screaming “fire!” or “oh God the baby!”.

    We are getting desensitized to the constant one up penmanship of panic and need higher and higher levels to even register. Go watch Faux News some time. It puts a bunch of 8 year old ADHD boys watching an action cartoon while sipping sugary lattes to shame.
