   Oh, you were serious? I thought it was sarcasm.   
      
   "Everybody dies at the end, so everything is just as safe as   
   everything else." Well, um, no.   
      
   Horses are much more dangerous than even motorcycles, statistically.   
   And motorcycles are more dangerous than cars. And cars are more   
   dangerous than public transit. And this is all pretty basic,   
   established knowledge.
