Yes, only an hour ago I decried my apathy and contempt for politics. This is just a rehash of a previous post pointing out exactly how absurd some of this bullshit is getting. People paying attention know the truth about the relationship between these two things. I personally experienced another big dose of it in January, and continue suffering for it today.
Alot of the narrative surrounding both of these topics is pure bullshit. All you need to do is learn your own information and stop swallowing the garbage being presented in every public forum and broadcast medium I can imagine. But how can these topics be related in any meaningful way, you may ask? It’s pretty simple and the comparison is sobering – Simple statistics.
This particular set of statistics (crime/firearms/death/healthcare) tells us, at least some few years ago, that you are 9,000 times more likely to die at the hands of a healthcare professional, than being killed by someone with a gun. I understand this in a uniquely personal way. That number has likely gone up by now.
