Death tolls.

i was reading one of those shoddy daily papers on the bus today, and there was an article about pedestrians getting hit, and apparantly the "death toll" is up to 7 this year.

what is with this obsession with death by numbers? fuck, i even saw a chart, plotting the expected death toll in comparison with the real death toll! it seems to me like we all have a secret obsession with death and destruction, like for some strange reason, deep down, we want to see the death toll climb, bringing us closer and closer to orgasm. it fucking disgusts me.

thoughts?
