  Doctors vs. Guns U.S. Statistics:                                     Number of physicians in the US = 700,000               Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year =120,000 Accidental deaths per physician = 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health &Human Services)                                                         Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000                      Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) =1,500                                                                                  Accidental deaths per gun owner = 0.0000188 (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms)                                    Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

 

Maybe animal rights is not such a bad idea. If animals have the same rights as humans, then animals and humans are equal; So now if any of natures predators have the right to hunt for food, then so too does humans.

The History of the Middle Finger
 
 Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory
 over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured
 English soldiers.  Without the middle finger it would be impossible to
 draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable
 of fighting in the future.  This famous English longbow was made of the
 native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as
 "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").
 Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset
 and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the
 defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew!  Since 'pluck yew'
 is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the
 beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus
 the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute!  It is
 also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the
 longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."
 IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!
 And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crime.” - Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson
