An Anti video and some rebuttals

Over this Christmas week I got to spend 7 days in hospital so I got in a LOT of TV watching time.
With no schedule available I did a considerable amount of channel surfing of channels I normally do not even click through.

I happened to run across this video spot of celebs saying one or two words at a time and, through editing produce sentences.
Demand A Plan to End Gun Violence (length 1:22 min.)

I had never seen, or heard about this video or DemandAPlan.org before so I thought that this was new.
I was seriously considering emailing Conan O'Brian to castigate him for being a Bloomberg shill.
I find it incomprehensible that people that can walk and chew gum at the same time can possibly give credence to this crap.

Well, I was discharged yesterday, 12/29, and spent most of my time trying to catch up with all the forums I frequent and/or moderate.
This morning I searched for and found the above video and realized that it's two years old and since it came out there have been, at least, two REALLY GOOD rebuttal videos posted in response.

Demand a Plan Hypocrites (2:18 min.)

Demand A Plan: Reality (3:50 min.)

and just for a positive ending note: 9 Shockingly Pro-Gun Celebrities (2:34 min.)

Please accept my wishes for you and yours to have a safe and happy new year.

BTW - The best thing I heard said to me lately was from my cardiologist, "Alan, there's not a thing I can do for you."

SIGH! What my cardiologist was saying was there is/was nothing wrong with my heart.
No damage due to my current bought with sepsis. (caused by kidney stones).

Good about the heart.
Bad about the stones/sepsis. Glad you are out.
Damned auto-correct makes reading a real puzzle.

Sorry about your trouble; glad you got a good outcome.

Been spending the better part of my gun money on deductibles and co-pays here lately myself. Prostate cancer. Looks like I'll get a pretty good outcome, too. Caught it very early. Was able to do low-intensity Brachytherapy with no follow-up radiation, hormone shots or chemotherapy . No fun, by any means, but things look about as good as they can look for a man with that problem - so far, anyway. The prospects are excellent that something else will kill me first. What more could a feller ask?

This, and the post about "faux news" posing the questrion of who will listen to fox when our generation dies out leaves me pondering about whodahell is going to keep forums like this going after all of us finish dying as slowly as possible?

Glad you're pulling through and the ticker is ticking on time.
