Someone sent me this e-mail the other day, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Also, I don’t have the time to post much else right now.
Interesting thought for the day:
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D. C. (among others) is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation’s Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D. C.
This would probably be a good time to mention a very informative book called Shooting Straight: Telling the Truth About Guns in America. At the very least it contains some interesting statistics and case studies, and dispels some gun and gun control myths the media is fond of bandying about as fact. It’s definitely worth reading.

rude - Not yet anyway.
Food for thought!
Theater of operations. Interesting terminology. I guess it helps our leaders,
to use such language, to help emotionally detatch themselves from the fact that lives are actually being lost by their fuckups!
What ever happened to fubar?
badgerbob - Have you seen the movie "Fubar"? The scene where the one guy riding a bike while carrying a case of beer and trying to open a beer at the same time falls and eats shit is priceless.
it is random and obscure facts such as this that i find to be the most telling and revealing
morbid - you're crucial
j holden - Thanks. Wait. That's good right?
yea, man
that's UNC lingo for "really frickin cool"
j holden - Sweet! There's one person on earth who doesn't hate me. I'd tell my parents, but they hate me.
