DEATH IS BAD ... Unless It's Not

To date, an estimated 1 million Iraqis have died in the conflict to bring them freedom, and kill crush destroy the enemies of the US of A such that soccer Mom's can be more MILF and less terrorified.   28% of Americans are just down with collateral damage (that would be a serious case of death for someone else).   Slightly less than 3700 American service persons have died in that same cause.  People are killed, maimed and mangled on the highways of America every day, and yet we really love to drive.  Hundreds of thousands die each year due to, well, death.  These are the simple facts of the case:  Death is our birthright.  No one gets out of this life alive.  Ever, (except Enoch).  The Rapturists keep forgetting that the real birth into the love of God comes with death; but we can discount their lunacy because ... they're lunatics.  Everyone of us will die.  We don't want to,  I know, but the leading cause of death is living.  We all suffer from it.

Can we please just get a Goddamned handle on that fact so that we don't make kneejerk stupid reactions towards a Nanny state?

(I actually have some slightly more substantive posts in the works, but after a 10 hour day coming into Rush ... I'm just not in the mood.)
