Those would also be part of the life expectancy equation, so it wouldn't make sense. That would be like saying we would have a really low murder rate if we would just take out all of those murders.

Take them out of the calculations and we're near the top." You work at East Anglia? But, the point is well-taken. Most countries don't have anywhere near the number of personal vehicles or the volume of roads to drive them on so accidents are more abundant here. Most countries don't allow citizens to own fire-arms so that isn't an issue with them. Still, I would guess more people die from heart disease than gunshots and car accidents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
