Default 12 dead this weekend from GA crashes


Daily US Death Toll (2001 data from National Center for Health
Statistics)

Heart Disease .........1909 (Let's outlaw fatty foods and mandate
exercise)

Cancer.............1527 (Let's outlaw tobacco, mandate bran, or
whatever is supposed to prevent cancer)

Stroke........446 (More cigarettes anf food laws)

Chronic lower respiratory diseases.......342 (and still more...)

Accidents............292 (Get rid of them damn cars ...except my
convertible mini cooper ...)

Oh, and by the way, when we reduce the death rate by mandating
behavior, we're probably going to have to require contraception to
accompany our immigration laws.

When all of this is done, I'm willing to be next in line for adding
more regulation to general aviation.
