Arizona Shootings and Logic in Government

What happened to logic in the Federal Government?

Last November, we, the American public, voted in a new House of Representatives to stop the damage and correct much of the economic damage caused by the last Socialistic/Communist House. The news media subsequently reported all the good things that the new House would instigate when convened in January. The new House Speaker and various Freshman Congressmen appeared in person to confirm what the news media has been reporting.

Yesterday, the news media reported the death of six individuals shot by a lunatic in Arizona. This morning the news media is full of reports of condolences to the families, questions on the sanity of the shooter, and security measures to protect other members of Congress. It is also reported that the house has basically shut down its business to consider these same condolences and related factors.

I am not a person without compassion. I am very sorry for the family losses of their loved ones. Those families have a right to expect some indication of compassion from the public at large, but let's put this in perspective. Thousands of people die daily from automobile accidents, where their lives have been cut short by the neglect of individuals and society. Murders are committed daily under other circumstances, generally related to emotional disturbances.

May I suggest that the House cut short its bereavement on the death of Congresswoman Giffords and get on with the business of correcting the financial lives of millions of Americans.
