Abby Zimet's profanely pointed response to the Las Vegas slaughter — and Eric Benét's companion lance into our white-favoring eye

Common Dreams published a pair of sarcastic (Las Vegas massacre) "must reads"

 

First, the humorously profane Ms. Zimet — for anyone with a sense of social proportion:

 

 

There are a zillion humdrum, daily, dumb, largely harmless activities that Americans undertake all the time that are more strictly regulated than buying a gun - even an assault weapon whose sole purpose is killing people[:]

 

 

Having a fucking bake sale

 

Building a fucking shed in your own backyard

 

Owning a fucking car

 

Driving someone else’s fucking car

 

Riding in a fucking car

 

Disposing of fucking batteries

 

Cutting fucking hair for a living

 

Owning a fucking dog

 

Walking a fucking dog

 

Watching a fucking DVD

 

Importing foreign fucking cheese

 

Buying fucking fireworks

 

Riding a fucking bicycle

 

Transporting a bottle of opened fucking wine home from a restaurant

 

Using a fucking skateboard

 

Buying unpasteurized fucking milk.

To which . . .

 

Common Dreams appended Eric Benét's piercingly true observation that:

 

 

If every black male in the U.S. bought & registered a semi-automatic rifle tomorrow, Congress would pass gun control laws by Friday.

 

 

The moral? — Biblical?

 

If God were responsibly inclined — in any humanly understandable way — He would catastrophize the United States out of existence and replace us with colonies of garden-constructing ants.
