Bush *knows* this, and yet he does nothing to stop it.



What would you suggest he do?


Each year 186,000 people get killed on the road. In a 20 year period that
will be 3,720,000!

And Bush knows this, too.

These deaths are easy to fix. Unfortunately, they're expensive both in $$
and politics.

Fix for gun-related deaths... a number of thing to reducce the carnage...
require gun locks on all new handguns made or imported into the US,
legalize drugs, which will decrease the gang-related deaths (not that I
care), increase the general level of education and improve the economy..
(crime in general has risen since Bushy took office, yet fell I believe
every year Clinton was in office).

Fix for highway deaths... get car manufactures to devise better cars
that have more collision avoidence technology, improve the protection
inside the vehicle, for larger SUV owners to pay hefty fees to own one
(good for the environment also), make the bumpers a standard size
(this one is in the works actually), set a speed limit and strictly enforce
it (65, 75, doesn't matter) and reintroduce the minimum speed limit, and
put more cops on the streets (works for gun-deaths too).

Yup, putting locks on houses has stopped burglury, Right?


Yup, especially if you buy really good locks and security. My alarm system cost
more than your boat.

Actually, the remote for the alarm cost more than your boat!

Actually, the batteries for the remote for the alarm cost more than you boat!

Actually, the drive to the store for the batteries....


Oh, never mind.

That's a shame. I live where there's no need for alarms and locks.
