More to the point, traffic deaths are a /real danger/ - more people are killed by falling appliances than by terrorism, and we seem to think it's worth spending huge amounts of money, going to war with the rest of the world, and giving up many of our own rights to fight terrorism. For most of us? Terrorism is not a real threat. For most of us, especially us middle-class Americans, If we die before we get old? there is a pretty large chance that death will be in a traffic accident. If we want to increase safety, we should be spending thousands of dollars on auto safety for every dollar we spend "fighting terrorism"
- lostlogin 13y agoI'd sooner spend the money on preventing night time rage from standing on Lego than on preventing terrorism. So much of the effort is utterly counter productive. I guess ago safety is probably a better use than my suggestion though.
