About 3500 people died during the 911 attacks
 Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 10:30 AM by TheCoxwain
But about 43000 people die a year in road accidents http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx


We have spent 1 Trillion dollars + 4000 lives in trying to prevent the former from recurring.


I have no clue how much public money gets spent in trying to prevent the latter - but my hunch is that on a per capita basis - it will be nowhere near money spent in trying to save lives from a terrorist attack.


Why is one form of death considered more important to protect against than the other?


Why don't we have a better public perspective on this?

Okay DUmmie, now compare the number of highway deaths to those caused by guns and then tell me why there is so much worry about guns?

Well now, here's some public perspective on this.

Pedro Picasso a few weeks ago admitted he's driven 120 mph on highways in Massachusetts, and 130 mph on highways in Pennsylvania.

Probably the coxwain primitive better direct Pedro Picasso to driver education classes and anger management seminars.
