I was thinking about these two youth that were killed by Phoenix drivers. The young lady was killed while crossing the streets from her school. The driver did try to save her by doing CPR.
The young man was hit on his bicycle by a driver that hit him and ran. The following day the young man died. In comparing the deaths of motor vehicles to the deaths in a WAR like Iraq; the war on motor vehicle collisions is more devastating! The people in Iraq know that they are in a fight! The pedestrians, bicyclist, joggers, wheel chair riders and other drivers are not aware of a fight.
But yet, crossing the streets in any city in America is often times the end of that persons days. More people die from so-called motor vehicles "accidents" in one year in the United States of America than in an actual war in Iraq! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? What the hell is wrong with this picture?

There were 1,066 traffic fatalities in 2007 in the state of Arizona. In 2006 1,293 traffic fatalities occurred in Arizona. Between 2001 and 2005 there were 3,437 people that died from traffic fatalities in Arizona. What is going on? I read one statistic that stated in 1997 traffic fatalities were the fifth leading cause of death in the Western States of the U.S. What bothers me about this is TRAFFIC COLLISIONS ARE PREVENTABLE! This means that they do not need to happen! So why are all of these people dieing from automobile collisions? Are we at WAR? Is there a war going on? If one state averages 1,000 deaths per year from automobile collisions would not this motivate folks to do something to prevent this? What are you doing to prevent from becoming the next victim?
