What’s responsible for more deaths each year than guns? Doctors and prescription drugs.

A name like Sanjay Gupta is about as common in India as “John Smith” is here, fyi.

Still, it’s precisely the wrong conclusion for an Indian news columnist to draw from the Mumbai massacre…

Wrong Sanjay Gupta.

Here’s that columnist’s list of articles:

Er. Outlaw for ‘private use’, not ‘privet use’. Using cars for a hedge may or may not violate your agreement with the homeowners’ association, though.

Cars are often used in the commission of crimes, sometimes directly and other times for fleeing the scene. Automobiles are also often involved in deaths and injuries caused by irresponsible misuse, as in drunk-driving incidents. Clearly, we should outlaw the manufacture and sale of motor vehicles for privet use and ownership, to prevent them from being used irresponsibly. Citizens can, after all, rely on various private and public transportation solutions, like city buses and Amtrak, to cover any transportation needs they may have.

Or we could let people be adults. I dunno.

For a brief moment, I thought the title said “Surgeon General Prick”
