Here is a list of terrorist attacks in the last 20ish years.
Now, would you classify terrorism as just a fear, or a reality? I classify it as a reality.
If we assume the highest possible number of fatalities for each incident, it adds up to 3,924 dead over a 20 year span.
42,643 people died in motorvehicle accidents on American roads in 2003 alone. And this was the lowest number of fatalities for any year since the US began keeping records of road fatalities in 1979.
While terrorism is real, trying to paint it as something that should hold our lives in FEAR is just silly. Especially when you stand a much, much better chance of dying by crossing the street.
