Consider the Source

Forbes.com ranks America’s most stressful cities and finds San Diego No. 6 on the list. As far as we can surmise, the factors they used were unemployment rate, gas prices, population density, air quality, public education quality and ahem, affordable housing.

And...?

We are reminded of the World Trade Organization riots in Seattle some 8 or 9 years ago perpetrated by the planet’s perpetually aggrieved that never took place when the WTO convened a few weeks later down here.

We suppose it can happen but it remains a near physical impossibility to stress to the degree that would put San Diego #6 on the list.

Then again, this is the same publication that ranked Nick Saban, the most powerful coach in all of sports. We just hope the Almighty was out of the office that day.

Perhaps they were alluding to the fact that at any minute the tornadic violence next door in Baja can spill across the porous border and make San Diego part of the drug-fueled O.K. Coral our amigos to the south have going down there.
