Twelve American servicemen have been killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq. It will make the news today and perhaps tomorrow. Twelve miners died in a coal mine in West Virginia, and it has been covered extensively, every day, in our local newspaper for a week. We're nowhere near West Virginia.
Twelve people in California are killed on the highways on a typical day. Every day, all year. Unless it was somebody famous, a dozen traffic deaths wouldn't be much noticed in California, and not at all outside the state.
