Hi Humans,
So now there was another deadly shooting at College Station, Texas. And the gun enthusiasts and their gullible supporters still don't want any gun reforms. When Romney was interviewed today he still said he was opposed to any change in the gun laws. I guess he does not want to upset the NRA or alienate the gun nuts. Doesn't it make sense to you that in a large country like the United States there will always be some screwballs, and gun control would make it more difficult for every screwball to have a gun to kill people when he (or she) freaks out. But unlike us dogs, some of you humans are challenged when it comes to common sense.

Hi Humans,
So Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as the Republican vice presidential candidate to further ingratiate himself with the far right wing of their party. They say he favors "financial responsibility." Actually he wants financial responsibility for the middle class and charity (tax breaks) for the very rich.
Also the Republicans want deregulation. People who work for large corporations are responsible for getting as much money for shareholders as possible no matter what irresponsible action is required to accomplish it. Deregulation allows and even encourages irresponsibility. That is what got us into the present economic mess. President Obama saved capitalism when he entered office. A return to Republican economic policies will bring us back to the brink of disaster just like it did 4 years ago. Is that "conservatism?"
If a dog like me can see it, why can't you?

Hello Humans,
Today another screwball was able to commit mass murder (this time in Wisconsin) because he found it easy to buy a gun and bullets. Why are you humans so afraid of the NRA? Why do humans have to die so that the gun nuts can keep their toys. Why do you humans have such a slow learning curve? And you think we dogs are stupid? Look at yourselves.

Health Care Reform and Physician Shortage
Hi Humans,
Some humans say the Affordable Care Act will increase the shortage of physicians. That is not exactly true. If the population stays the same and the number of physicians stays the same, then making health care more available does not really increase the shortage of physicians unless the people who are presently not getting adequate care don't count. We dogs have a better sense of logic than those humans who oppose health care reform.

Martin and Zimmerman Case
Hi Humans,
There are two versions of what happened on the tragic night when Trayvon Martin was killed. One version is that Martin attacked Zimmerman and Zimmerman acted in self defense. The other version is that Zimmerman provoked Martin in which case Zimmerman committed murder or at least manslaughter. I don't know which version is correct. Hopefully, the court will come to the correct conclusion. But one thing is for sure. The community (particularly the state of Florida) is guilty for creating insufficient gun control laws. Zimmerman should not have been carrying a gun in the first place.
But what do I know? I am just a dog.

Gun Control
Hi American Humans,
Are you guys stupid? Did you see what happened in Aurora, Colorado? That screwball was able to kill and injure so many people because he was able to buy the most severe guns and ammunition "legally." In any community there are going to be a few psychopaths. But you don't have to give them the opportunity to acquire weapons for mass murder. Shame on the NRA and the gun lobby for putting their toys above the safety of the community. They are as guilty as the screwball who committed the crime. If dogs could make laws, we would do a better job in this matter.

Filling in the Gaps in Health Care
Hi Humans,
Congratulations to the Supreme Court in confirming that Affordable Health Care including mandating that all humans become insured is constitutional. American medical education is the best in the world. People come from all over the world to study here, and many of those people stay here to give care and teach others. At its best, the USA has the best medical are in the world. Americans spend more per capita on medical insurance than other countries. But in spite of this, the overall care given to American humans is low compared to other First World countries. The reason is that many Americans are under-insured or not insured at all. America has to fill in the gaps and bring up the cost effectiveness of care to catch up with the rest of the Developed World.
Even a dog like me can see that.
