With 7 billion people in the world, it's very likely that these things will happen today:

  - someone will get killed in a horrible car accident
  - a child will be killed in a freak accident
  - someone will die from cancer, leaving much grieving behind
  - someone will molest a child
  - someone will lose all their money in a scam
  - someone will get raped
  - someone will be killed by a never-to-be-found hit-and-run drunk driver
  - someone will beat a woman
  - someone will be murdered
  - someone will die in a disaster/fire/earthquake/storm
  - an innocent bystander will be randomly shot to death
  - someone's favorite team will lose

In addition, it seems like something like this (unbelievably) happens all the time:

  - someone will murder many people
  - someone will shake a baby until it's brain dead
  - a soldier will lose vision or use of their limbs in action
  - someone will post a horrible crime on youtube
  - someone will tie a pet to railroad tracks
  - a whole family will die in an accident

I really do feel bad about all of these things, but frankly, I just don't want to be reminded 40 times every day. <closing browser and going back to work>
