Well, if you have an accident, even if it truly is an accident, it is
no longer to be called an "accident" by one federal agency, but a
"crash". In otherwords, it will no longer be called "accident
statistics" but "crash statistics". 

I missed the name on the radio, but think it was U.S. DOT, and they
claimed that by changing from "accident" to "crash" this is going
effect everyone's thinking to make them think more seriously, that its
not an "accident" but something caused by someone, sort of to make us
all act more "responsibly".

Wow! The death rate is going to drop by 30% now that they changed the
name!!!! People are really going to be thinking after boozing it up
that they no longer could have an "accident", but an "on purpose". And
young, inexperienced drivers are out there to do it "on purpose".
And "driver error" is going to be eradicated.

What a crock of shit!!! What lame-brain, psychologist thought this one
up!!!! I know, someone at U.S. DOT will say that if it even saves one
life, it was worth the name change. I would agree, of course, but its
just strikes me as doing too little about more serious problems like
stopping diplomats from drinking and driving, and Congress members
too.

Maybe they need a new slogan at DOT, like "put drunk-driving Congress
members behind bars". But I am sure DOT will find some funds shrinking
as Congress passes appropriation bills and DOT did that.

So this is yet another attack on citizens, just like the attack on
fabricated aggressive drivers, steering our thoughts away from
lawmakers who have failed miserably at giving us better driving
conditions, and blaming citizens. The proof is in the pudding, and
those on Capitol Hill will continue to have "accidents" while the rest
of us will have "on purposes".
