Yet we seem to accept 45,000 dead annually as the price for the convenience of driving. It is absolutely amazing isn't it. Not to mention that we also go to actual war to defend the resources to continue to drive.
If anything, there should be a
PR blurb that equates driving to supplying terrorists with operating funds... but no, that would be just a bit too hypocritical now wouldn't it.
...because we've done so well with the Wars on Poverty and Drugs?
We'd be better off treating the symptom -- punish people who maim and kill with their cars -- than the supposed causes like cell-phone driving or drunk driving.
