How others see us

by David Kowis on May.31, 2009, under politics

It’s always interesting to note how the other nations media (could call it propaganda, especially from how this article is written) see what’s going on in our country. The sad thing is, I tend to agree with most of the observations in that article. Our nations government has hurtled us down a rabbit hole that unfortunately, we do know the end of. It’s not good. Note to self: I should read that book Road to Serfdom (or from Amazon.) We are so very much losing the freedoms this nation was founded on. We’re losing what made this nation great. It wasn’t the government that made this country great. It was the limits on government. It was keeping government out of the way to allow people to do what they thought best. Now our government seems to know best for everything.

Statistics FTW!

by David Kowis on Feb.07, 2008, under politics

DOCTORS:

(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

Statistics courtesy of the U.S.Dept of Health & Human Services

GUNS:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes that’s 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%

So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, guns don’t kill people, doctors do.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
