I don't fear the terrorists ...I fear other drivers
Think the terrorists are a big threat? Well lets look at it for what it is. Let's compare the carnage to everyday life in the world and the USA. Last year there were 43,134 transportation deaths. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html ... World wide childhood deaths per year are in the millions. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html ... Deaths from smoking in the USA exceed 400,000. http://www.youthact.org/tobacco/responsible.html ... Here's a list of ways you can die in America http://www.wired.com/news/technology/1,71743-0.html Compare the deaths caused by terrorism with these stats. Now you tell me ...should I be scared of terrorists?

1. I was going to say, in my neck of the woods many of the drivers
are terrorist of the roads.

You think George might send them to Gitmo if they get too many tickets?

2. Drivers, hell. Try stepping off a curb.
Or stepping into your bathroom or your kitchen or your garage.

Or just climb up on that ladder to clear the leaves out of your gutter.

Or slam that beer, turn to your buddies and say, 'Hey! Watch this!".

Americans can be such dumbass chickenshits.
