Needless distinction

IMhO, it is inattention at the root of most (non-drugged) so-called 'accidents'.

No need to make the distinction. If you are drugged, you don't have sufficient attention to pay. Just another route to the same problem, IMO.

We have to fight the terrorists as if there were no rules and preserve our open society as if there were no terrorists. -- [link|http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/05/opinion/BIO-FRIEDMAN.html|Thomas Friedman]
