But we are safe, at least from terrorism. The probability that you'll be killed by a terrorist on any given day is far lower than the probability that you'll be killed by something mundane.

- Natsu 10y agoOne could say that we're (mostly) safe from dying, but not safe from the terror of it.
- mindslight 10y agoWe really need to start condemning all terrorists. We obviously strongly condemn the few that commit the violent crimes. But we've given a pass to the ones responsible for most of the terror - the ones that sit comfortably behind "news" desks and government podiums.
- venomsnake 10y agoBut you have sane definition of safety. Which is "relatively safe". If a definition for safety (which media, powers that be and majority of population are using) is "no one ever dying for terrorism" - then we cannot be safe.
