Drawing Wrong Lessons

I apologize for today is my day for all the doctors to poke and probe…..so I will be posting articles with a little opinion thrown in….hopefully I can return to my normal posting schedule tomorrow….

Since this is the story en vogue for now…I will spend today posting on this situation….after that I will move on……

The big argument these days is the horrendous attack in Orlando……it is not about the victims but rather the terminology on the attacker……and of course someone has got to mention assault weapons and the Right-osphere will go batcrap crazy…..

America’s mass shootings, especially those linked to Islamic terrorism like the slaughter in Orlando, Florida, prompt a reflex of responses, but some reactions are particularly unhelpful, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

Here we go again. Another terrorist incident, and another iteration of the depressingly familiar suite of responses we hear each time in the subsequent surge of rhetoric and commentary. Much of what we hear is what careful consideration of the circumstances and evidence associated with many of these incidents would show to be wrong.

And this is even without including most of the politically driven reactions that have become common amid the partisanship of contemporary America and that one ought to be able to see through without the need of careful consideration.

There were 50 deaths and over 50 injured…..and the best we can do is argue about terminology……that is just sad….

I prepare myself for the endless justification over terminology……and none of which addresses the real problem…..until we are serious about the problem then maybe someone can spend some quality time finding solutions for this violence.

But the big question is….How long will Disney allow the kid taken by gator to be a news item?

  1. I can ASSURE you … ALL of my distractions have been dealt with … I am now in full on ASSAULT mode. Stay tuned to witness the AWESOMENESS of my actions.

    NOTE: No one will be physically harmed in the process. Unless, of course, it makes anyone physically sick when I call them out on their actions and/or inappropriate behaviour.
