I've heard this argument before. Not that there is not some validity to it (which I don't have the time today to go into, unfortunately), but whenever I hear it, I can't help wonder if that means we should consult a list of all deaths in the USA and allocate our resources proportionate to the incidences of death? Have you ever seen an article which spells this idea out beyond the shorthand?

(I really wish someone else mentioned this because it looks like I'm picking on you but I'm not - at the moment, at least - just curious as to how that idea is supposed to work if put into practice.)
