Scary Thought


Some perspective

"Hardly a day goes by without the press reporting about some new outrage perpetrated against women and girls in Islamic countries. How can we in the West stand idlely by while women and girls are treated as little more than sub-humans in these Islamic countries ?"

"Most commentary on gender and politics in the Middle East and Muslim world assigns a central place to Islam, but there is little agreement about the analytic weight Islam carries on the topic of women in Islam, accounting for the subordination of women or the role it plays in relation to women's rights. "

Fear and Terrorism

What happened to "Nothing to fear but fear itself"? Every time we change our behavior or allow our freedom to be limited the terrorists win.

A short list of compiled US death rates. Rates are given in deaths per 100,000 per year.


  • Motor vehicle accident 1999-2002: 15.3

  • Firearms 2003: 10.3

  • Terrorism 2001: 1.06

  • Terrorism 1993-2003: 0.012

Just wanted to show everything in perspective. We should be at terror level chartreuse on cars ... They are dangerous. Everyone driving should be licensed to handle a lethal weapon. We should raise the driving age, minors should not have such great responsibility. Re-licensing every couple of years should be mandatory. Think about it ...

A final note on death rates:
