The story on the Javelin race that broke my car

Putting a baby on a commercial air plane and it's potential for crashing into a populated area is equally as irresponsible as drag racing on a late night street with a baby in the car.

The difference is what people will accept as tolerable risk based on socially accepted "necessity" and what someone can legislate against to further their political career while simultaneously bolstering their facade of a humane and socially conscious politician.
