Some people are appalled at the number of deaths due to a military action we are involved with but could care less about other sources of death, which should be preventable.

This is exactly the irony of the hoo-ha over Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic comments after being pulled over for a DUI recently. Most of the news coverage focused on those comments and others he made after being arrested. Not that they were not offensive comments, but they pale in comparison to the fact that he got behind the wheel drunk. It's fortunate no one was killed.
