Oooops.

Why don't you make a list of fatal traffic accidents and post an
impassioned plea to ban ownership of the demonstrably dangerous
motorcar? Now, that would BE something!

There's that idiotic crap again like "gravity should be outlawed, it
causes accidents". If that's the argument there is none. Was gravity
designed to kill? Guns were. Was the auto designed to kill? Guns were.

Danger is danger and death is death. I don't see any problem with
outlawing gravity, except in special situations. Hell, the Republicans
in one state outlawed Global Warming and Flooding. What is the problem
ridding our reality from something as simple and insidious as gravity?

We were on the right course in the 70's when we realized the danger of
the automobile and lowered the speed limit to 55. Many lives were
saved and many more could have been saved, too, if the limit had been
decreased even farther to 5-10 MPH or even lower. Think of the lives
that could have been saved! However, a group of hoodlums promoting the
false god of common sense not only kept that from happening, but
returned us to speeds as high as or higher than before. Speed (like
guns) KILLS!

This is just morally wrong. Please, somebody pass a law and make
everything change.

If everyone used such tools responsibly, we wouldn't need one group of
idiots writing restrictive laws for another group of idiots to disobey.

IOW, take some personal responsibility.
