In the news today

What really makes me frusturated about this is that other taxpayers and I have to foot the medical bills of the people who got themselves involved in this disgraceful event. I do understand that many people tried to get out of downtown as fast as they could, but they should have prepared for a loss and a safe ride home (especially how few could have forgotten the riots in Vancouver of 1994).

Here's one thing about being a fan or having a hobby that many people don't realize - you don't have to be around tons of people to enjoy a passion. Instead of going to the allocated outdoor gatherings, people should just stay at home and watch it on their 30"+ LCD/plasma HDTV with or without friends with some drinks bought before the liquor stores closed early. For me, that's the best way to enjoy my entertainment.
