According to MADD, the 2004 number worked out to 1926 people every six weeks.

Drunk driving and attacks by foreign nationals on U.S. soil are completely different issues, however, and it serves neither to lump them together.

If we're going into politics, maybe we could discuss the ramifications of the widening gap between Russia and the U.S. If the Russians cut off the supply of power tubes to the U.S., a lot of us will have to go QRP!
