So a homestead, amish-style, it is?

I do understand the sentiment, but we (as a society and individually) absolutely accept that strangers will die because of how we (as a society and individually) live. We just don't like to speak or think about it, because it's not compatible with our self-image as selfless, hyper-moral beings. But given the choice between a super market nearby and zero traffic deaths in the country, we all know which on we will choose.
