It's a very unpopular opinion, but it is fact that the number of people dying in our country every day because of:
- driving to work
- smoking a cigarette
- obesity
- suicide
- and a zillion other things
far outnumbers the number of Amercians who are killed in terrorist attacks. We pour billions of dollars into "fighting terror" at our airports. The percentage of people who perish due to terrorists hijacking planes is incredibly minute. I'm thinking lotto statistics, people.
What's the cost/benefit analysis of groping genitals and looking at my naked body?
