I saw where Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson dared to put things into perspective and got blasted for his trouble: https://twitter.com/neiltyson

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors

300 to the Flu

250 to Suicide

200 to Car Accidents

40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

I suspect that there will be a whole host of people on this site to flame Dr. Tyson as well.

Where are they?  What do you gather from his statement?
