Actually annual highway deaths have been around 42,000 last 5 years
although last year was around 37,000 due to the bush depression. But
it's still much higher than the 32,000 annual gun deaths - and half
of those are suicides and shouldn't count.


Suicides, by definition have at least one willing participant.


FWIW, if you don't realize it, you (and any who respond without
trimming the headers) are cross-posting to a number of unrelated
groups. *If you do realize it, um, well...carry on, I guess...


I don't crosspost. *I do, however respond to posts I find in
