It's time we ban pitbulls

Then we will all live forever in peace and harmony.

The numbers I've been seeing are more on the order of 20 to 25 deaths per year, which is roughly a death every couple of weeks, but your point is still valid given a population of hundreds of millions of people.

I guess the difference in my mind is that pit bulls probably don't provide quite as much benefit to society as electricity, motor vehicles, and water. Therefore it would pretty easy to eliminate virtually all of these deaths with no real cost to society. Perhaps Bob Dole sees that differently.

And by the way, Bob Dole always speaks in the third person. Who are you, and what have you done with Bob Dole?

Giving a benefit to society is not a requirement of existence or acceptance for any creature.
