In Regards to the politickle touch "how safe are we?"

I agree that yes America is indeed unsafe but then again 9/11 happened back in 2001. There were approx. least 2,985 people died in the September 11th attacks, no one really thinks about all the fatalities that occur everyday over 6,000 teen drivers are killed in car accidents every year. Thats three 9/11's. The 5,000 18-wheeler accidents affiliated with fatalities. Thats two 9/11's. There are6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005. In cause of DRUNK drivers. 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutes.
I don't know about you, but i have more FEAR and foreboding when getting on i-35 everyday.
Or what about from January 1982 to March 2001, a period of 19.25 years, there were a total of 8,109,000,000 passenger enplanements. During that same time period, there were 2,301 fatalities (120 people killed on average each year), and 348 serious injuries. This amounts to a 0.00003% chance of being seriously injured or killed in a commercial aviation accident.
And what about the estimated 15,517 murders in 2000 in the U.S.
How many 9/11's are that? Hmmm... of course our country is unsafe! But I would be more paranoid about dying in a car accident or a plane crash then a terrorist attack!
