                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      That's one of the most BS statements I've read in a while. We calculate with acceptable losses every day. When 10 million people turn their car key in the morning, they accept that some of them will die in a car accident that day. But the problem isn't that we calculate with acceptable losses. That's unavoidable. The problem is that we pretend that we don't do it. We should talk about it more, openly and transparently, not less (and pretend that it doesn't happen).

                        You could both be right.

                        You’re defending the idea that lives are risked in every endeavor.

                          Obviously this is the wrong thread to elaborate on the issue, but I think we should define a price (measured in currency) of what a life or year of life is worth, such that we have a basis to compare risks and the costs of risk avoidance in different life situations. Most people would find that inhumane (probably they'd use less nice words), but I think it would merely make explicit and fair what is now intransparent and unfair.

                            We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
                            Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                                Not sure if the analogy holds, but it's still funny:

                                  @George-K That's actually a rather good analogy, and that's part of why it's funny.
