A sort of provocation to force List members express their attitude, in my opinion. I'm sure you don't think so. Well, let's go. All the mess is not about 3,000 (or >6000, as I was told) who died on 9/11. The point is that US government can not guarantee global security to US citizens any more. To minimize the danger of "being hit head-on by a drunk driver" one could choose an appropriate style of life, road, auto, speed etc. To minimize the danger of global terror one could do nothing. Do you hear our Ukrainian communists screaming of 200 nuclear war-heads were lost when USSR crashed? Are not them enough to surpass all the numbers of road deaths for all years of the US and Europe history? Mike. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
