After the nation’s horrifying failure to remove Bush from office on Tuesday, it’s quickly becoming apparent that something has to change drastically in this country to unite us as a people. After some searching, I arrived at the Guns and Dope Party. This is truly the solution to the problem of a two-party system. The Guns and Dope party will finally unite Gun-loving republicans and Dope-loving democrats as one happy family. Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Illuminatus! trilogy and more.
RAW has been pointing out the best and worst of humanity (and more!) for decades, and thank goodness for that. Here is a great quote from the G&D party “guest editorial” page:
GUNS and DOCTORS
a. The number of physicians in the United States is 700,000
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health &
Human Services)
THINK ABOUT THIS:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes, eighty- million!).
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.
c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.
Statistically, doctors are about 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.
Alert your friends to this threat. We must ban doctors before this
gets out of hand.
As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on lawyers
