ShockV1.89 Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 i do not remember who it was that said this (my history teacher would kill me if she knew id forgotten the speaker) but here goes: those who forget the past are doomed to repeat them. George Santayana said this. I like this quote, one of the reasons I want to teach history. If we forget, it's just gonna happen again. And again, and again....

JaseP Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Where do you get 40,000 deaths a year attributable to firearms (actually 41,000)??? That's more like the automobile accident statistic. The deaths due to firearms are approximately 28,000. The deaths due to heart disease are 709,000. Theses are CDC figures... Are we going to ban bacon and eggs for breakfast,...???

acdcfanbill Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Well put jaseP, but that still does not retract from the fact that this thread is still far off topic, so either get on topic, or I will close it. thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
