Samir Kelekar submitted the text below and I would like to report that an organisation has been started in the UK and they want all road "accidents" to be called Road Crashes or Road Smashes for much the same reasons as Samir does. Dave snip Yes, accidents do happen, but when safety norms are not kept, should one call it an accident or murder? Tell me: the Upahar theatre tragedy where tons of children died due to fire, should it be called an accident or murder by negligence? The escalator in the Delhi International airport in which a kid got crushed, should it be called an accident or murder by negligence? The recent incident in Tamil Nadu where a number of children died due to fire in a school with a thatched roof, should it be called an accident or murder by negligence? It is so easy to abdicate responsibility by calling something an accident. If one drives drunk, he is out to commit murder, not an accident. What Goa and India needs is proper terminology in the first place! regards, Samir Kelekar end snip -- David Futers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newbiggin by the Sea http://www.futers.org Northumberland NE64 6NL UNITED KINGDOM
