I've been watching the shuttle jokes/debates going past and I think there
is a certain lack of perspective.  Just ask yourself the following
questions (and estimate the answers).

	1.  How many people die every day on the freeways/hiways
	    in the US?

	2.  How many teenagers die of drug overdose every day?
	    Or in traffic accidents with drugs and/or alcohol
	    being a significant factor?

	3.  How many women die as a result of illegal abortions?

Finally,

	4.  How many people die in Shuttle accidents every day?
