Scaring Us To Death

That seems to be the aim of the media (including Fox News). Fox local in Denver is running a story about how “dirty” the workout equipment at local spas is. This, of course, ignores entirely the fact that everything you touch is just as dirty. You don’t have to be “working out” to come in contact with germs. So why single out the “work out” business? Mainly because they just want to scare us and create a crisis. You can bet the government (state and federal) will take notice of this series and come up with more tight regulations and laws “to combat germs,” of course. Further, you can bet more taxes will be in your future, to pay for it. (Hub Pages)
