Over
300,000 deaths in the United States can be directly attributed to
obesity Every hour there are approximately 400 people that die as a
direct result of being overweight. While this problem is obviously
enormous the idea that we should ban cheese burgers to combat the
obesity is absurd.
Over
13,000 people are killed by drunk driver every year, we don't hear the
media proposing that we should ban automobiles. The deaths on our
roadways are not caused by cars, they are caused by individuals that act
irresponsibly. Most of us agree that to blame the car for traffic
fatalities is ridiculous.
The
children in Connecticut that died this week were the victims of a
horrendous crime. Guns were used, but the young man that pulled the
trigger is responsible. If he had poisoned the children, bombed them or
stabbed them with his knife would they still be dead?
We are producing a generation of serial killers and rather than focusing on a solution we want to blame the weapons they use.
