Um, Good News...I Guess


Automobile accident fatalities fell to their lowest level since 1961...but they're still the equivalent of a 9/11 casualty count...every month.

Amazing how the public can work themselves into a frenzy over a horrible act of terrorism, but shrug at carnage no less awful on the roads...and, crazier still, refuse to fund alternatives that might actually help reduce accidents, or, at the very least, cut down on traffic, making things a little less stressful for those who do choose to drive...

But that sort of thinking--you know, complex thoughts and all--is, I guess, a little too much for the wingnut brain to handle.
