For the more youthful, back in the day when government spending was calculated the "old way," some 50% of monies was devoted to Defense. What to do.

Well, what was done was to whittle off much of the spending from Defense, and put it into Health Ed. Welfare, SS, etc. Magic! Our Defense spending shrunk to unimaginable levels with the (key)stroke of a pen!

Now, we come to the old "Mass Murder" definition. It used to be four or more murders in one setting (not including the Punk). This, according to the FBI. Even the gun-happy Mother Jones had to admit a couple years back that since 1981, the U.S. experienced two (2) mass shootings a year. What to do.

Well, the definitions underwent more changes than Windows has operating systems: We now have Mass Murder downgraded to three (3) in one setting (not including the Punk).This, I believe, according to the FBI for some reason. Nice increase, but even better there is the Active Shooter, where for the duration of an event we get to call it "active," and routinely compare it with the Mass Murderr of yore, even if the Punk kills no one, including himself. But wait! Now we have MassShooting® where presumably some punk shoots at four (4) or more people in one setting. Wow! Huge numbers never seen before, all with a keystroke.

But don't get fixated on the latest "data." I'm waiting for the "MassWouldaMurderedActiveMassiveShootings© to supplant the latest chart-buster. Damn! Who'd thunk Luckenbach, Texas would be an ISIS-Zone of violence!
