SOMEONE MUST STOP THESE TERRORISTS

I refer, of course, to bad drivers. The BBC today focuses on road deaths - 1.2 mm people a year, considerably more than the number killed in wars. Since India is projected to go from 5 mm cars today to 250 mm by 2050, this number might be expected to rise.

Road safety is not a hot button issue. The last mainstream politician I heard mention this topic was Robert Kennedy. Ralph Nader and Joan Claybrook still work on it, apparently.

Looking over a list of the dozens of shareholder resolutions filed by activists with public companies for the upcoming proxy season. Auto safety is not mentioned.
