I absolutely love Paul Bertorelli's communication style. It comes across perfectly in his writing and in his YouTube videos. Little things like:

Might not sit well with some people, but says so much in just a few words.

It also makes it useless for someone curious about bringing this to a legislator's or senior administration official's attention.


Eh, I disagree. If someone is going to disregard the issue because of some slightly colorful language in an opinion piece, they never really cared in the first place.


Weird how "tone" never seems to be a concern for the gun lobby or "pro life" crowd (where tone includes arson/bombing/sniper attacks)


A lot of Paul's work is safety related; in that context I find morbid humor quite appropriate. You're less likely to forget the lesson about flying over water with that hard-hitting gag about unintentionally becoming a U-Boat commander.


I was mentally imagining him talking with his hands through the entire article.
