Fascinating grouping
@Spookcat, and each one of the maladies listed resolves under the heading of
mental illness, for whose treatment we have grossly shortchanged ourselves.
~ global "warming" - belief-based erratum failing to account for the past 17 + years of global cooling and ice accumulation..
~ gun "violence" - anthropomorphic inaccuracy as tools can be neither violent nor non-violent - only tools. People kill, very sick ones at that...
~ giving up our "rights and freedoms" - SCOTUS hopefully will prevent a new national knee jerk dunking chair...
~ breaking laws on international "warfare" - curious what the global adherence quotient there is? Pretty sure al Qaeda/ISIL wrote their own version....thinking the Chicoms have a signatory deficit as well...
