I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Last year in the U. S. alone more than nine hundred thousand people were reported missing and not found. . . That's out of three hundred million, total population. That breaks down to about one person in three hundred and twenty-five vanishing. Every year. . . . Maybe it's a coincidence, but it's almost the same loss ratio experienced by herd animals on the African savannah to large predators.
