The cover story in the current edition of "AutoWeek" is entitled "Failing Our Children." I'll quote the opening line of the article verbatim:
"Since the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, about 2600 American troops have been killed in combat and war-related incidents. The count is well-known and updated regularly in news reports. Did you know during the same 41-month period, more than 22,000 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, died in traffic accidents on U.S. roads?"
That's 22,000! Not a typo.
Think our media are leaning a little left, maybe? Think our media are not eager to upset their largest advertisers - the auto manufacturers, the beer brewers, etc.?
Since we could easily reduce that figure - I wonder why no one has spoken up and made this a national concern, if not a cause? Really upsetting.
