Bertrand Russell little analogy of someone's decision to save a drowning child, taking the time to coolly consider the personal benefits and choose solely according to a selfish agenda of wanting to appear virtuous, illustrates twisted virtue and suggests a pretty grim view/angle of humanity. And even if the person instead made a spilt second decision out of concern, but turns around and wallows in the praise and attention afterwards, Russell would probably come to the same conclusion on the person's

I responded to the listed address on Tate Street for a disturbance call and upon arrival I made contact with the victim Rosiland Ford outside the residence.

unproductive individuals. Swift's attempt behind implementing this art of persuasion is to prove that most high powers are equipped with this trite way of thinking.

As if the gun fired on its own. This makes people think that our right to own fire arms should be taken away. Take a second and think about this, who was holding the gun? The majority of mass killings are done by someone that has a mental illness. We wouldn’t have to take away our right to bear arms if we figured
