That wasn't the question. If cancer is the deadliest disease, that doesn't mean we can't talk about the obesity epidemic(or vice versa depending on the actual stats, I'm just making a general point).

Imagine if, every time someone wanted to talk about helping end the obesity epidemic, many other people chimed in about how dare you talk about obesity when cancer still exists. And the only way you could make a point about obesity is to put a disclaimer that cancer is totally worse than obesity.

One of these sides and the problem they represent just grew a huge amount in the last month. If it continues to grow at this rate, it will become the number one problem very shortly, and the time to speak out is now.

Entertain? Sure. But you're also talking about "mainstream media". If we had an unbiased media outlet making this accusation, I think it might make sense. But any person center or right-of-center makes no bones about the fact that all of the major media outlets are left and getting "more lefter" all the time.

I'm not aware of anyone on the right advocating that words are acts of violence. It might be possible, but I _know_ it comes from the left.

That said, that conservatives don't speak up more about this type of stuff is concerning. They are, after all, supposed to be about the business of "conserving" things.

That said, that they even published this letter is at least a breath of fresh air. Regardless of the view, I'm glad that there is a call to examine this.
