So would you argue that since driving 75mph in tin boxes that can and do run off the road and into trees and kill everybody inside autos need to be outlawed? Or would you weigh benefits and risks and say the benefits of automobiles are worth the risks?
Or would you argue that when I go bird hunting I should use steel shot because the lead shot might get pecked up by bob whites and those bobs, when eaten by humans, might give them lead poisoning. Or would you weigh costs against the risk and decide that lead shot is acceptable for bird hunting?
Would you immediately outlaw the burning of fossil fuels because of CO2 and global warming or would you weigh benefits and risks and support the continued use of fossil fuels?
Would you pass a law that all shotguns in the US should be subjected to government proof testing or would you weigh the cost against the risk and keep the system we have?
