Chinese proverb updated‏

Original Chinese Proverb:

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

2012 White House Revision:

Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for his clunker, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free meds, and he will vote Democratic the rest of his life; even after he's dead.

The National Park Service tells us not to feed wild animals because they will become dependent upon humans for their food. Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture admitted that it is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps to 46 million citizens. This is the most that has ever been distributed in their history. Talk about a lesson in irony!

Ban Doctors

Now this is going to sound silly, but it’s meant to. You look at this post and analyze it and if you’re a logical thinker, I’m sure you’ll see that people who are demanding limits on gun ownership are reacting the same way.

Doctors

  1. The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
  2. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
  3. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.

Now think about this:

Guns

  1. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)
  2. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
  3. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188

Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT…. Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, we withheld the statistics on lawyers.
