Let's not forget that many, many more kids die from drowning in swimming
pools than by gunshot wounds. But you don't hear the media preaching about
outlawing swimming pools do you? I wonder why? Could it be because
of an agenda driven media? The same goes for the so called media
reporting of the events in Iraq. They tell you what they want you to hear
/ know.
The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of
thinking that created them.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact
that most residents of DC do not:
1. Walk around town in body
armor
2. Commute to and from work in
'up-armor' humvees, Bradleys, and tanks
3. Spend the vast majority of the day in a heavily
fortified 'green zone'
Don't get me wrong - we are in total agreement on the
*issue*, as far as I can tell. There's just a part of me that gets real
PO'ed when people take numbers like these and try to compare apples and
oranges - actually, this is more like apples and
bullets.
I can do it too! Did you know that the
incidence of rape and ice cream consumption follow the same cyclical
trend? If we could just outlaw ice cream, or even better require two
forms of government-issued ID for people who buy ice cream "for their own
enjoyment", we could lock up those raping bastards in a new york minute!
What a step forward this would be for the women in this country! And
best of all, if a rape did occur, we would have a handy database of ice cream
consumers as primary suspects, which should lead to quick resolution of the
crime.
Or, it could be that no one but a retard wants to
hangs his nads outside his pants when its twenty below zero...or eat ice
cream.
