The Texas state pledge
Math - it doesn't just happen to other people

ECSNorway dropped trousers and squeezed this one out.

Literally millions of people are stuck on waiting lists to get treated for life-threatening conditions. Hundreds of thousands of people every year are dropped from the lists because they have, quite simply, waited so long that they have grown too sick to be treated.
Millions of people? 60,000,000 was the estimated population in the UK as of Sep 2005. Millions indicates more than one. Lets call it two million. That would mean that about 3% of the entire population is stuck on a waiting list for treatment of life threatening illness. Not receiving it. Waiting for it. Let me be the first to say, I have my doubts. In Canada the population is approximately 33,000,000. That would mean that 6% are on a waiting list for treatment of life threatening illness. Even halving your hyperbole inflamed 'literal' numbers from millions to a single million gives us approximately 3%.
The first step in learning to separate crap from cream is the smell test. Simple math is a great way to inhale that smell deeply. For the record, did you begin your breakfast with fresh strawberries and clotted crap?
