Comparing the two is irrelevant. We could also compare the number of people
killed with guns to the number killed by snakes or baseball bats.  But it
would be just as meaningless. I mean, would you feel better if we didn't
have airbags, ABS, side impact beams, etc., and more people died from auto
accidents?

Anyway this is only because the number of people dying in auto accidents is
going way down. Goes to show how many lives could have been saved if we had
installed many of these safety devices twenty years ago when they were
first technically possible.

Doing away with DWI eh? I also heard they were going to give a million
dollars to everybody, and we all wouldn't have to work anymore.
