This is my opinion, I am solely responsible for it.
Be careful how you respond, YOU might be proving my point.
Yesterday, Associated Press and others made headlines (to profit, I guess) showing a sensible post on Twitter by StarTalk host Neil deGrasse Tyson:
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
I have no argument with this post. It is eye opening, informative and puts things in perspective. Why is it making everyone on the LEFT crazy. They know the host in person and see in his brain malicious intent?
This guy is stating facts (I hope) that should cause people to think. He's a scientist stating obvious facts. This is what scientists are expected to do.
He says "In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings." to acknowledge the situation, isn't that enough?
People should intelligently argue the facts, not rant and rave and turn the subject to emotional content that only serves the media and politicians.
Reading and following news headlines are blinding most people to actual states and desensitizes them to every day occurrences.
