There is never a good reason for it, but it happens everyday. With kids killing kids and bombs blowing up buildings with preschools, it sometimes feels like it never stops. There is always something to fill a news hole in a newspaper and the news at 10. With so much changing in the world, so much stays the same. We have technology that can process millions of operations per second, but people still die when it gets too hot or too cold.
Death is still tragic and a daily event.
Whenever a person finally is killed where the bike lane and the crosswalk north of the Student Union intersect, then something will change. It's human nature, and it's killing us. At the intersection where I almost killed someone in high school, I wasn't the first to have a major car accident there. I was one of many. It took only a couple of years after I and others added to the stat sheet before the city made the intersection a four-way stop.
