Traffic fatalities have been in the 40,000+ range since the 1940s.
Many
more automobiles and many more miles driven but at the end of the year
the
number of dead people has been the same for over 50 years.

Actually, TF's peaked in the 1980's at about 52,000 (??) and are now
down
to
the low 40K's.


Actually, far as I know 52,000 is 40,000+.

True..but you also said "but at the end of the year the number of dead
people has been the same for over 50 years". So, yes...but the pattern is
what we're taking here, aren't we? Or are we just playing "Fun with
Numbers"?
