Do They Even Get It?

Reading over this article at the Freakanomics website, I kept thinking, "Do they even get it? Why are they wasting their time calculating whether driving drunk is more or less dangerous for the drunk than walking home drunk would be (it turns out that it's less) when that's not even the typical concern that we should have with drunk driving?" Then I got to the comments, and right there, at the top, was the following:

"The real problem with your analysis is that I don’t care if some drunk idiot gets himself killed while walking. I *do* care if a drunk driver kills someone *else*.

Well said, Ramsey H! I couldn't have put it better myself!
