Pedestrian injuries and deaths have been trending down, and are 20% less (1,000 fewer deaths) than in 1998.
Most deaths occur at night, not during rush hour.
Interesting data:

What IS it with these IDIOTS who, on the one hand, INSIST with froth and flying spittle that every school kid be bludgeoned into mind-numbed submission to Natural Selection, then turn RIGHT around and insist that there simply MUST be legislation to save people from Natural Selection??
What next: no rappelling? No climbing? No skydiving, water skiing, scuba diving, boating, driving, walking, or breathing?
Can we agree that this trend will have no end until we are forced to live our lives encased in flame-retardant foam rubber, space suits, barred from contact with the Earth, limited to drinking only ultra-purified water, and breathing purified air?
Can we accept the truth of that assessment and just hang every last one of these bastards NOW, and get it OVER with??

Yep, everything I don’t like should be illegal. Way too many people seem to believe this.

The last generation has seen the rise of the total nanny-state.
I hope at some point people begin to think that there are SOME things gov’t shouldn’t be involved in.
To: Baladas
Chewing Gum, Cigarettes, Cigars, Soft Drinks, Left or Right Arms (if engaged in Scratching) and if we are going to include our Elected Officials “Breathing” might be too much for them to handle.
