DESECRATION TRIGGER WARNING!

If you are likely to be triggered by any discussion linked to gun controls, don't read any more.


Just have a look at this chart from the CDC, discussed in the New England Journal of Medicine:

Current Causes of Death in Children and Adolescents in the United States




OK: So what can be done about the fact that the largest cause of death in US children and adolescents is now gun-related?

Thoughts and prayers? I have a better idea.

Pass a law forbidding kids to wear seatbelts in cars. That way auto accidents will get back to their rightful place as the major kid killer, and the gun control hysteria will simply wither away.

"Thoughts and prayers" is another GOP lie. They are thoughtless and we know gun control doesn't have a prayer.

Clearly, praying does nothing to affect the real world.

Oh, but it helps the Republicans hold onto the Evangelical vote! They really love to vote for People Who Pray - I mean, if they are praying, they must be good guys, right?

Never before has the wisdom of the founding fathers' idea of the strict wall of separation between church and state been more evident nor the danger to our democracy from breaching that wall seemed more acute and imminent. This year we are faced with a choice between a Republican Party, some of whose prominent leaders seem hell bent on destroying democracy forever (and hardly even try to hide that intent in many cases) and a Democrat party and independents who, though they have disagreements between them, are united at least in Abraham Lincoln's ideal of a government of, by and for the people. It is a tragedy that the party of arguably the greatest of all American Presidents now poses the greatest danger to that very ideal he espoused so eloquently in his amazing Gettysburg Address, one of the greatest oratorical masterpieces in human history.
