Perhaps not, but that's not what I said, either. I said that on the dimension of likelihood of causing death, speeding is closer to murder than theft is. Let me offer a thought experiment: You're a parent in a nice quiet neighborhood. Scenario One: You come home from work and your front door has been kicked in. Someone stole your laptop. Scenario Two: The neighborhood kids are playing ball in your yard. A car drives down your street at 90 mph. Which scenario makes you more angry? When someone steals my stuff, I get sad. When someone ignores a stop sign while I'm in the crosswalk, I get angry.
