I had a teacher in college who used to ask, Who discovered America? He would offer some choices. They were Amerigo Vespucci, Christopher Columbus or the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. The answer he wanted was the three ships with which eventually someone would have discovered the New World and without which everyone would have remained in Spain.

It is no different with the tragedy in Tucson. Hate speech and madness were part of the mix, but it was the gun and our insane gun laws that resulted in six deaths. Until we come to grips with that, as a nation, we remain armed and dangerous.

That explains so much...

Dear Richard Cohen (and your idiot college professor),

It was the ingenuity of man that allowed him to design ships to sail on the seas. It was the ingenuity of man that allowed him to dream of distant shores. It was the courage of man that allowed him to sail beyond the horizon and his ingenuity, again, to make the trip a success.

The attack in Tucson was the result of insanity. Considering it is insanity that makes liberals praise or condemn the creations of man rather than man himself... look no further than yourselves and your own insane ideology for the answers to the problems with America.
