No more GD for me for a while
If curiosity killed cats, what would hyperbole do to them? It's easy to look at current events and conjure up frightning stories about what could happen and then taking that and going a step further. (example: We invade iraq to liberate them. In the process we kill a lot of them. They now hate us. Now we have a lot more potential terrorists. That makes * happy because he can now freely kill more people, even using nukes to satisfy the rather sad Americans who say 'kill or be killed'. I just told a story. Where does fact end and hyperbole begin? Even I don't know that, and the example is utter fact up to and including the point "now they hate us". We don't know if we've made them all a bunch of active terrorists yet and what * would do is anybody's guess, though I doubt he would treat them as human beings. Oops, there I go again?)

While I want to be a writer someday, I'd rather do comedy than horror. It's just too damn freaky, depressing, and scary - all rolled into one.
