How many people died in car crashes in 2004? How many people died from tobacco and alcohol related issues in 2004? How many people died from weight-related issues in 2004? If we're looking at banning stuff because people are dying, let's at least save more lives by banning cars, tobacco, alcohol, and fat people.
