If you crossed the street 20-60 times a day for 25 years your risk of dying from being hit by a car would go way up.

I am no statistician, so I don't know if the odds go up for each time you cross the street. Theoretically the risk is the same each time, I think. But then again, I am just a lawyer, and former high school foreign language teacher. My son is good at math, though...

Nah, the Nanny's would moan and groan about the choices these unworthy people made to cross the street so many times claiming they are not worthy of care because of their choice. Then they would lobby to get laws past telling you where to cross the street and how many times.

I thought FR was a conservative web-site.
