It is an absolute tragedy, no talking of crisis solutions that feel good but won't work will change that. It is however necessary to not politicize the situation by jumping onto solutions that don't work but will make everything else worse. An analogy is first aid measures in the case of a suspected stroke. Quick action is needed, but two aspirin for the headache is not part of that quick action, even though it is quick, easy, cheap, and recognized by millions as a good solution for a headache, and if you guess right, has a chance to reduce incidence of paralysis in stroke victims. It is a preeminently bad idea, though, particularly when one considers that 15% of strokes are hemorrhagic strokes, and the aspirin in those cases WILL kill.<br /><br />But who cares about facts when you can get feelings and self esteem on your side?<br />Smug, willfully ignorant Brit!
