Prevention is better

» UN statistics reveal that 79% of the 12,000 plus homicides taking place on average every year in Thailand are carried out with guns. Add to this more than 20,000 road fatalities per year and 545 killed annually due to the conflict in the deep South seems a mere drop in the blood bucket. But much of this needless horror is preventable. A close look at developed nations proves this. Progress in Thailand can be measured in these simple numbers. How many are dying needlessly every day due to preventable causes like dengue fever, diabetes, heart disease, pneumonia, drunk driving, speeding, failure to wear a helmet, illegal weapons, bombs, drug overdoses, and so many more? One might hope the government would try an ounce of prevention when faced with these staggering statistics if it’s goal truly is to restore happiness for the people.
