Reasons cynicism makes sense

 As a cynical person I dislike seeing news that confirms encourages my cynical tendencies. Saw a news headline do that this evening. Man killed after posing internet ad. I thought annoying ad filled with personal inforamtion. Turns out the burglars after posting an ad on craigslist.  So I guess be careful selling stuff online where the buyers come to you. As for me I plan to listen to my personal antidote to this feeling.   If you are in need of uplift I recommend listening to the song last.

a guy posted an ad with his personal information and was killed by burglars? Harsh luck for that dude. Still, the cynic in me can't help but point out that the ad was a bad idea, tthrough and through.

@Bo17:  Yeah that was my first thought.  Perfectly after writing this the next song I heard was Comfortably Numb,  @Bones8677:  Great choice in song I love that movie for many reasons other than my name being part of the title.

That sucks. He should have known the risks you take posting ads on craigslist. Ebay would have been the safer choice
