Here’s a handy ranking of the various dangers confronting America, based on the number of mortalities in each category throughout the 11-year period spanning 1995 through 2005 (extrapolated from best available data).

N8, you're more likely to get shot by the popo than of them dirty arabs!

[valve bouncer]

400 people a year are shot dead by the police??? That's staggering.

Add another Republican administration to that, and tack on a bunch more deaths...

Carbon monoxide in products, isn't that something that pretty easily could be legislated away?

Carbon monoxide in products, isn't that something that pretty easily could be legislated away?I think the main product might be gasoline, so, no....

Curiously, the peak of your curve corresponds to Republican admins.

Go ahead, outlaw abortion, shut down all the social services, dont teach birth control in schools. Watch the crime rate skyrocket in 10-15 years, and then the deaths will go way up...

I wonder what the likely hood is of dying from several of those at once?

Example: You drive off the road because while you were at work you were unknowingly exposed to a dangerous chemical that caused you to hallucinate, your car falls 150 or so feet towards the ocean, brushes against some poswer lines which shock the piss out of you, yet you survive the fall and find yourself in a small pocket of air that turns out to be from exhaust fumes and thus you actually die of carbon dioxide inhalation.

that would suck

edit: sort of an OJ/Nordberg death

Watch the crime rate skyrocket in 10-15 years, and then the deaths will go way up...looks like you read freakonomics. levitt's work got more scrutiny at the neweconomist, and a rather indepth article can be found here (http://neweconomist.blogs.com/new_economist/2006/06/crime_abortion.html)

must say, this research makes my fellow fundies more than a little uncomfortable for reasons even they [we] aren't sure of.

[Old Man G Funk]

more people were getting screwed.
Yeah, that's quite true, although probably not in the way you meant.

In the way you meant, it was probably about the same amount, but with less access to birth control and more emphasis on abstinence-only education which doesn't work.

abstinence-only education which doesn't work.

I'm in the same boat Manimal. I plan to tell my son months were longer back then. That should buy me a couple of extra years while he tries to work that one out.:bonk: :biggrin:
