Terrorism is no big deal: each year about 41,000 Americans die in road accidents and aproximately 98,000 die from medical errors -- yet we never even pause to think about these deaths. There's no reason why we couldn't accept ~10,000 deaths per annum from terrorism as normal.

i reckon people are more willing to accept that driving and medical procedures can kill you, but simply living in the wrong place shouldnt.

why not? if we accept a high chance of accidental death whenever we get on the highway, why can't we accept it whenever we move to NYC?
