I Would Like to Ask Another Question
March 3, 2015
In his article today on ISIS, Pat Buchanan mentioned that the Center for Disease Control reported that in 2011 alone, Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, a disease he had never heard of, caused 15,000 deaths in the USA. He then asked a good question: “How many American deaths did ISIS cause?”
I would like to ask another question: How many American deaths did marijuana cause? If the answer is none, which it is, then why does the government have a war on drugs instead of a war on C. diff? Just asking.
