Definitely. But it's not going to be easy with every country having different systems and procedures. Never mind many countries not WANTING to work together.

But we shouldn’t really be surprised, because we’ve seen this movie before (unless we were too scared to go to the theater). Remember the great Ebola scare of 2014? The threat of a pandemic, like the threat of a terrorist attack, was real. But it was greatly exaggerated, thanks in large part to hype from the same people now hyping the terrorist danger. ...

What explains the modern right’s propensity for panic? Part of it, no doubt, is the familiar point that many bullies are also cowards. But I think it’s also linked to the apocalyptic mind-set that has developed among Republicans during the Obama years.

Think about it. From the day Mr. Obama took office, his political foes have warned about imminent catastrophe. Fiscal crisis! Hyperinflation! Economic collapse, brought on by the scourge of health insurance! And nobody on the right dares point out the failure of the promised disasters to materialize, or suggest a more nuanced approach.

I think the repeated "false alarms" are why much of the base has turned on the leaders who have preyed upon their fears. They're still afraid, but they're not going to let the same people gin them up anymore. They'll let new people do it.

I sense something special brewing here.

 

In America, 52 people in the theater would have had guns

The problem, this guy says, is that people are discouraged from being heroes.
I fail to see how some poorly trained, trigger-happy dimwits could have been of some help here.

 

How incredibly delicious that a leading mouthpiece for the Church of Global Warming could write this sentence.

 

Perfectly said.
