Ordinal Obsession

I can’t find a single story about fatal crashes where the number of people who have died in car “accidents” in any related way is communicated. It is always as if no one on that road, on that highway, in that community, or in the region had ever died before in an automobile connected incident.

On the other hand i don’t think I can even find a headline about an urban murder that doesn’t put that sort of information before anything and everything else including entire articles on just the murder horse race. They’re not just numbers…they’re ordinal numbers!
