Apples and Oranges.... it's a statistical lie. But then they don't
drive to the store, they don't snow ski into trees, they don't parachute
for entertainment. They don't count births from the moment they are born
in all cases.

Give me a break. How many deaths per year in the US are caused by skiers
running into trees? I bet it's fewer than ten a year. How many skydivers
