the talks and demonstrations to high schools do little good. We've done several of them. Tears and photo's and all.

And while it might take a few cards out of the deck as they contemplate what happened to their friends, there are still enough cards left to keep the statistics largely the same.

They aren't statistics to their families or friends or other people who have lost children to these "accidents", but teens have this sense of immortality.

We recently lost two teen brothers in the same accident in our county. More families devastated.

And unfortunately it is just a matter of time before another teen dies.
