I do agree that the question was stupid. But it’s Yahoo.

Oh absolutely -

the “coal” part represents your energy usage,
the “corn syrup” represents what you eat.

The gov’t’s role, in Biden’s mind, is first and foremost to control your energy and food usage,

and lastly to protect you from external threats.

Hmmm... I wonder why the founders got this 180 out of whack?

He may be right on what kills more Americans, but he’s not right on the role of government.

The fedgov is to protect us (people and states) from external threats. It is not to mess with what we ingest or how much energy we use.

I wonder how he feels about socks?

I'd be most interested to know that. I hope it comes up in the debate tomorrow.

When inhaled, dihydrogen oxide can be more deadly than all 3 combined. I’m surprised Plugs hasn’t warned us about the dangers of this potential killer.

The Question: "Which would you honestly say is more likely to contribute to the death of your average American: a terrorist strike, corn syrup, air that has too much coal in it."

Biden says air with too much coal in it is tops but thinking of "clean coal" technology. I know Reagan was arguing for it in the 1980 debate and soot pollution has dropped 75%. A 2004 article suggests 14-24,000 annual deathscan be attributed to particulate pollution.

I think the correct answer is corn syrup because you almost can't avoid it in any processed food item and it contributes to obesity (365,000 annually) and diabetes. Those are things most likely to cause the death of your average American. The average American is *NOT* exposed to coal fired plants or working in coal mines.

Thanks to "the white devil" George Bush's policies, terrorist strikes have not become a daily occurrence in the U.S. and thus have not been most likely to cause the deaths of the average American. The answer might be different for, say, the average Israeli or Palestinian.

Biden is right. I heard about 2 guy’s that tried using Corn Syrup when they ran out of Crisco. One of them died from AIDS.

He’s being very clear if you want to hear it. He will interfere in your diet, impede energy development, and he will not consider protecting you to be very important.

Anyone in any coal-producing state to vote for this guy deserves what he gets. The problem is, the rest of us don’t deserve it.

This just in: Biden is still an idiot.

Yesterday Biden was an idiot, today Biden is an idiot, tomorrow Biden will be an idiot. Doesn't leave much room for advancement.
