We fear death from legal and illegal drug use, war, and guns and we do everything in our power to stop those things from being sold in the open market, but we ignore the staggering average of 41,000 deaths that occur each year via car crashes (US).
We fear new diseases more than we do old ones, even if the older disease kills more per year than the new one. We fear AIDS and HIV more than we fear getting in a car and driving. Why is that?
