(15,035 posts)Discernment. And judicious editing. Both do wonders to keep interest.
Loved the first half dozen or so. Especially liked the "Yeah. They built that." dig. But then it all grew tedious and, as they say, "time is money," and more important, "
of the essence."

Weird. 1 Ebola death was enough for the GOP to call for a ban of fictional flights but 30k gun deaths isn't enough to close dumb loopholes.

Hey, wait a minute. the Ebola mortality rate is estimated at 50 percent, which means that 30 people will die each day from the virus in Sierra Leone, which is about one-third of all the cases that are being reported throughout West Africa at this time. Do the arithmetic, as Bill Clinton said, and this adds up to 30,000+ Ebola victims in West Africa over a full year. Isn't that roughly the same number of people who die from gun violence each year in the United States?
But let's not forget that the CDC isn't allowed to figure out what to do about gun violence and if it were up to the NRA, every state would follow Florida's lead in gagging doctors who want to talk to their patients about guns. If 30,000 Ebola deaths in Africa constitutes an epidemic, what do you call 30,000 gun deaths which have occurred every year in America for the past twenty years?
