My 2008 predictions are already coming true! Apparently, the three young men who were attacked by the Siberian tiger at the San Francisco zoo were drunk and stoned on marijuana, were standing on the retaining wall around the tigers enclosure, and were yelling and taunting the cat.
The second part of my prediction: despite the fact that these fellows were at least partly responsible for what happened, I expected their parents to sue the zoo. I would be quite happy to be proven wrong on this half of my prognostication, but… my faith in the average American and their love of lawsuits suggests I will be proven right.
Suing… not just a pastime but an excellent way to shift blame. No one American ever seems to be responsible for their problems, it seems.
