-And any statisticians can tear this garbage apart... hell, my 12 year-old could.
A man must have seven alcoholic drinks to drive as dangerously as a sober woman driver.
More than three million men, women, and children died on America's roads and highways in the Twentieth Century.
Five times as many Americans were killed on our highways as were killed in all the wars ever fought ever since the US Constitution was ratified.
Our MVFR (Motor Vehicle Fatality Rate) is 45.8% higher than Germany even though Germany has no speed limits on their Autobahns, 70% of their drivers drink alcohol and drive, and they consume 55% more alcohol per capita.
Our MVFR is almost three times higher than England even though England has a higher speed limit and drinks 10% more alcohol per capita than we do.
The Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS)
http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/queryReport.cfm?stateid=0&year=1999 reports that women who don't drink at all have 14 times as many fatal accidents as men who drink and drive.
While MADD falsely proclaims that they saved 67,000 lives from drinking drivers since 1983, their program caused five times as many additional heart disease deaths due to the reduction in alcohol consumption.
6,000 ADDITIONAL men die in traffic accidents annually due solely to the higher accident rate of women drivers--twice as many lives as MADD claims to save each year from drunk drivers.
If only drinking White men drove all highway miles, the lifetime odds of an American dying in a traffic accident would decrease from 1 in 80 to 1 in 247, a rate equivalent to England.

http://christianparty.net/mvfr.htmNote to readers; This is neither 'Christian bashing' nor 'woman bashing'. This is an example of the sort of disengenuous tactics employed by the religious 'right' to keep their conscripts in the camp. It is plainly flawed, and yet there are millions of people who would mindlessly recite these 'statistics' for their inability to grasp methodology.
I would laugh at this, but it really represents the machinations by which so many of our countrymen (and women) are set against all reason.
