Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane.
The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
We are taking a business-as-usual position at my agency, though business before 9/11 wasn't that hot either!
