You know what you don't see? Poisoning.
Can't remember the figure the morning news cited a few weeks ago, but
children's deaths from poisoning from household drugs and chemicals have
fallen by a (pleasantly) staggering degree since child-proof caps and such.
Or polio. Or smallpox.
I'd even bet home fire deaths have declined some since smoke detectors and
laws that mandate them in rentals.
So, sometimes things _do_ improve.
