5,121 dead - not counting suicides - since Sandy Hook. Roughly half a year. I guess we are supposed to be grateful?

Out of more than 300,000,000 people? I'd say yes. The world will never be Utopia and the murder rate has been getting lower for the last 40 years. Look on the bright side for a change.

Right, because the drones kill you even MORE dead.

Don't worry, Ideo... Obama wouldn't kill you for that! He puts suspected terrorists in places like Guantanamo... You'll just be in a nice, cold, little cell without human contact for several years... No trial, no lawyer... It'll be fun, I promise Big Grin

Before we give ourselves a pat on the back, I need to remind you folks that although the murder rate is declining - and that is always a good thing - we still have a very high murder rate compared to many other industrialized countries. In 2010 there were 16,259 homicides in the U.S. - 11,078 of those were committed with firearms.

We've still got a lot of work to do to put a dent in our homicide rate, regardless of the recent declines.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
