Sure, I mean there were only 1300 kids that died in vehicle accidents in 2009, and they tend to die singly or in small groups, so it's not such a big deal, right? Certainly not newsworthy or deserving of a national period of mourning. Same with the 700 that die each year from drowning, many in backyard pools and hot tubs. Those things are far too relaxing and convenient to strictly regulate, I hope.
