Right now a lot of people are glued to their TVs. It's on the tip of their tongues. Sandy.
The bi-line on the front page of Yahoo.com said, "1 person confirmed dead."
As we know, on average 115 Americans die daily due to car accidents. So what about the headline about all of those people who died today? It doesn't make it in the headlines because we have chosen to just accept it? Why?
This pulls back to my question as to whether or not we are a bunch of fatalists. We can not control the weather. But we can control car accidents, up to a large percentage of them anyways are preventable.
Wake up America.
As always, Fix The Toaster does not aim to diminish other problems but rather hold a magnifying glass to a huge problem that flies so far under the radar it isn't even thought about.
