Reply #62: Which Frames Terrorism For What It Is, A Risk Management Problem

[Strelnikov_]

Excellent post.

We need to take all measures as to reduce the risk to as low a level as practical.

Or, as Kerry put it:

"We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance,'' the article states as the Massachusetts senator's reply.

"As a former law enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life."


As a side note, heat kills more than cold, that is surprising, with ominous implications for the future. The GOP do not seem to be worrying about the increased mortality from global warming. Guess the political payoff is not as profitable as being paid shills for the fossil fuel industry.
