Why do so many people speak about planning for the future?
What else do you plan for?

Good point. The one that really annoys me is how the media insists on referring to a 'really bad crisis' or a 'serious crisis'. That's kind of the idea with crises. The media are victims of their own hyperbole - in referring to absolutely everything (is the 'everything' tautological?) as a crisis they've diminished the power of the word.
Sorry to go on, but it's the dreaded and seemingly unavoidable 'absolutely' (see earlier posts) that's unnecessary here. It's either everything or it isn't.

Tim,
Don't you mean "the media insist"?Mr Snuggs insists that media is plural.
Re "absolutely" you'll note, I hope, that it enrages me enough to have placed two posts about it already.
