Want to hear a good one? In 2010 there were 166 deaths in Canada due to falling out of bed. In 2010 there were 167 deaths in Canada due to firearms. I'm thinking that if we waste about $20 billion on a bed registry and force special conditions on bed heights etc., in 2025 the death rate from falling out of beds will still be about the same. But if the bed inspectors had the power of warrant less searches we could bring the death rate down to about 165/year.
