This is a long op-ed, 3/5 of a newspaper page. This is a local computer nerd that gives local government hell.....but this time he shocked me, he's leaning right.

For example, for men, the five-year cancer survival rate in the United States was 66.3 percent; in England, it was 44.8 percent; for women, the five-year cancer survival rate in the United States was 62.9 percent; in England, it was 52.7 percent.

A rough statistical projection shows that if the United Kingdom had both our firearms and our health care, they could save in excess of 112,000 lives per year.
