It would be interesting to know what percentage of non-natural causes deaths (world wide) could be attributed to the U.S. - directly or indirectly. I'd bet it's more than two percent.

they get their information from Fox and Rush...so this will be way over their head.

But K&R for the nerd who did his best.

I remind them that although its cold here, its warm in places that have summer, like Australia, which again had record breaking heat.

You can see how much their brain hurts as they try to work that into their version of reality.
