Yes, America, the home of the freest corpses in the world.
Yes, America, where cars expensive, and life is cheap.
Meanwhile, and even as the US Congress and President Obama, and the NSA et al, work to ensure the safety of all Americans -- here's some numbers you don't need a Bluffdale or Pentagon to decipher.
Road
traffic is the biggest cause of air pollution early deaths. 53,000
Americans a year die too soon because of emissions from road vehicles.
The second most important source of killer emissions was power
generation. Those pollutants kill around 52,000 people a year.
Air pollution deaths from rail transportation appeared to be relatively
trivial.
However, emissions from marine transportation hit California with its
long coastline relatively hard, resulting in an estimated 3,500 early
deaths.
California is the hardest-hit state. There are 21,000 early deaths there
a year from emissions.
However, it’s the east coast city of Baltimore, Maryland that is the
hardest-hit city. 130 out of every 100,000 residents will die each year
as a result of air poluttion.

Baltimore, Maryland -- a city located next to Washington, DC. the nation's capital where the seat of government allows the deaths of so many of its own citizens, that's obscene.
