Agree and another thing that is rarely touched upon are the deaths by smoking.

We could lose a Boeing 747 every week full of people and not match the people who die from lung cancer, yet its rarely brought up.

These deaths are somehow "acceptable" while our soldiers who volunteer to fight for our freedom and die in the process have the Cindy Sheehan's of the country doing hunger march's on the capital.

My Father knew that if I drove the summer when I turned 16 that the chances were good of something happening. He matched anything that I saved and I ended going to Europe on a bike instead. Went over a kid and returned a man, after riding 2500 miles through 17 countries, part with a group and part alone. He probably saved my life but it was good for both of us.
