Odds

It bothers me that motor vehicle accidents are the 4th cause of death. They are completely preventable events, but our lack of comprehensive planning results in a huge number of deaths.

  1. "Legal Execution"

    Now there's something that can be controlled, can't it? I mean that whole eye for an eye thing.....that shit went out like a thousand years ago, right?

    That's the funniest one on the list, if you ask me....

  2. An eye for an eye sure didn't go out a thousand years ago. Tit for tat, you take one of mine, I take one of yours, is still very alive today.

    Legal Execution is something that comes under total control, but it's the decision made by a group of people. In the United States, it's supported by millions. "That guy sucks, let's get him out of here!"

    Motor vehicle accidents are shocking to me because of the scale of their violence. It affects so many people and is primarily the result of carelessness on the part of drivers, government and society.

  3. do war deaths count as Legal Execution?

    and how does one determine the chance of suicide?
    nearly 1% seems awfully high -
    although I am sure if I wanted to die that way I could make it 100%...
