If the government comes up with a program that will save 100 lives a year, at the cost of 100,000 million dollars per life, would you support it?

This isn't a trap question. It's something I think about every day. Every day we are being nickeled and dimed in monetary and freedom costs through new legislation attempting to try and prevent some sort of damage or loss. At some point we are going to be out of money and out of freedoms and realize that people are still dying or getting fucked over in some way.

One thing to consider is that there really isn't such a thing as "saving" a life. It's really just postponing death.

What if we used science, technology, common sense, integrity, and legislative cooperation to make our country as safe as possible with the budget it is working with?

We'll see how much money is left after all the white people are saved. We should be able to save at least 3/5ths of the remaining population.

They're practically giving them away. You'd be stupid not to.

Yeah, but only enough to create a commercial that shows how much we love brown people. Only should need 3 or 4 in reality. But not too black... unless they are like REALLLY black.
