So I posted the story about the fawn/cop on FB. Typical RW reply and my retort:

[The Straight Story]

Posted on FB as well. Second reply to it:
"That would be our government at work."

My reply:
Our state govt. If it had been a corporation running things the deer would have already been made into deer jerky, the guy fired, and lack of safety standards (ala BP and profit) would have resulted in 11 people dying while making the deer jerky. ;)

1. That doesn't really make sense

Venison jerky is currently commercially manufactured with a pretty excellent safety record.

2. Just add oil

and watch the people die

4. The venison jerky industry is the paragon of free market capitalism at work!

Er something.

6. Maybe I misunderstood the OP

S/he seemed to be claiming that a corporation could not make jerky out of a deer without a lot of injuries. Which doesn't really make any sense, I think, because that doesn't actually happen in reality.

7. It'll be okay. Relax, have a candy bar, maybe take a nap

You have thought enough for one day.

9. Sarcasm

–noun
1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.


As opposed to fact. A useful tool for those able to see beyond the absolutely literal.
