What Louie Doesn't Know On A Thursday
A death in a traffic accident will cost over 2 million dollars when
all is said and done. The cost of speeding is calculated, by the federal governement, to cost 28 billion dollars per year in tax payer dollars.
Think about that
Do you think every person that dies from aids will has 2 million dollars from the government waiting for them?
In case you are wondering, the correct answer is no.
So then why wonder about why the gov’t spends more money of highway safety than on aids treatment/education?
More kids die (“per year) drowning in pools than by swallowing small parts of toys, murder, or any illness. I am confident most people have seen the disclaimers saying “small pieces could be swallowed” on the packages of toys, but who has seen the warning “Children may drown” sign next to the pools they dive into?
Are you signing up for the CPR class? Are you going to drive better?
Perhaps we are more aware of the dangers we can blame someone for (and we pay someone to clean up) than we are of the dangers we have no one to blame for.
Sure it makes you think, but what are you doing to make a difference?
Life is sticky like that.
