    Don't know where else to put this. Missed that episode of This American Life, but it's thoughts like this that make me glad to be a Gentile vegetarian.

    Default Landslide closes Cherohala Skyway between N.C. and Tennessee

    "We've had four in Cherokee County, three in Clay County, 23 in Graham County, eight in Haywood, 10 in Jackson, two in Macon, six in Swain and none in Henderson, Polk and Transylvania," said Joel Setzer, district engineer for District 14, which comprises the 10 westernmost counties.

    Setzer noted that these are only random slides on state-maintained roads. More random slides have occurred on private roads.

    Something I saw somewhere, I think on Facebook, I think, made me wonder, if more people are killed by vehicles than guns, and guns don't kill people anyway, why not strap a vehicle to every soldier's back and let people drive guns to work?

    Wouldn't is be simpler to kill all the vehicles with our guns?
