37. So What, I am tired of changing my lifestyle for the terrorists.
Isn't the number of accidental shootings with handguns around 10,000 per year? Why aren't we freaked out over the number of domestic abuse cases that end in death? I am sure they all together way out number the number of Americans killed if this plan had gone off.

So if each of the 21 suspects was on a separate plane and did his thing we could lose maybe 200 people per aircraft +/-. so somewhere between 2000 to 3000 maximum.

I dont know, I think Americans have a problem with folks dieing all at once, rich pretty folks.

But far greater numbers die each year from drunk drivers, but we aren't watching 24/7 news coverage on THAT problem.

I think anyone worried about this media event, because that is what it is, and not all the other ills we face every day are being unconsciously hypocritical.

One thing is for certain, we will all die one day. I dont plan on living like a cowering little sissy in the mean time no matter what the threat.

Allot of us saw this coming back on December 12, 2000. On that date our future was set in stone and if you are surprised by todays news,.... well maybe you should have paid more attention.
