Sowell is a treasure:
“If in fact tighter gun control laws reduced the murder rate, that would be the liberals’ ace of trumps. Why then do the liberals not play their ace of trumps, by showing us such hard facts? Because they don’t have any such hard facts. So they give us lofty rhetoric and outraged indignation instead.”
Indeed. Instead they say stupid things like: England has strict gun control, and has less murders with guns than the United States.
It is the “More Hospitals, More Hospital Deaths” fallacy”
Scholarly studies have found that the more hospitals that exist in a country, the more people die in hospitals. This alarming conclusion shows that the United States, with the highest number of hospitals, has the most people die in hospitals. Countries with few hospitals have few die in them, a country fortunate enough to be without hospitals would have no one die in a hospital.
It is especially alarming that the largest hospitals, that contain the greatest number of patients, have the largest number of deaths per hospital.
This leads to the inescapable conclusion that we should ban hospitals in order to prevent hospital deaths, and that the largest hospitals should be the first ones banned.

The Cost is in Liberty and freedom – a high cost indeed.
Many on this board celebrate the helplessness of the Ukraine. After all it is what the liberals desire.
