Agreed. If governments really cared about safety, they would encourage the development of strips and tracks. However, in this world of sound-bite media and knee-jerk, thoughtless voters, politicians would much rather say they solved the issue by arresting 400 people. It makes the jerks who buy houses near drag strips happy and it sounds good when played for 2 seconds on the news without real analysis, in between hour long reports on the state of Spears' underwear and Hilton's views on life.
