You seem to go out of your way to pick at words to make political points...

...and to disregard the general intent of the statement which would help address the problem. Prevent the problem?...no. Mitigate the problem to make it more manageable?...maybe...even probably. But, you would rather insult than analyze. Fine. Burn your bed, then lie in it. Whatever. It's not my state. You can have the last insult.
