"Headlines..."

While the coverage of the fantastic, inspirational London Olympics, occurs on the front pages of the Sports section of the paper, the less inspirational ones have appeared on the front page of the  same paper: 

The average price of a gallon of gas has rose $.13 in the last week to $3.59 (and due to a refinery fire on the west coast is expected to be over $4 soon)

Florida is 4th in the nation for real estate costs.

South Florida has dropped to 38th out of 100 best retirement metropolitan communities.

Auto insurance costs are 4th in the nation for Florida.

Florida has the 3rd highest number of foreclosed properties.

Florida has the 3rd highest incidence of shark attacks.

Florida is ranked 48th for education of the 50 states.

With such positive marketing, why do we need Chambers of Commerce and region marketing representatives?

Post Script:  4 hours after writing this the Florida average price of a gallon of gas rose $.10 to $3.69!

Post Script # 2:  Today's headline was...the US Post Office is bankrupt...losing $51,000,000 per day!!!  Does that ever speak to more US Government-run organizations!!!
