9,300,000/1 Dying in Terrorist Attack
In 2005 there were 651 significant international terrorist attacks
worldwide, killing nearly 2,000 people.

Bicycle safety investment: Nearly nothing. Traffic safety: Nearly at
the bottom of the priorities.
Cost of the two wars: 1 trillion dollars. Something doesn't add up
here, right? (besides the number of 1,500 killed a year).

your definition of terrorism seems weak
Of course, cyclists do not figure in this at all.

One man's democracy is another man's Police State.
It is estimated that over a million people have died directly or
indirectly as a result of the US led invasions of Iraq and
Afghanistan, most of them non-combatants. Several thousand coalition
troops have been killed.
Far from winning the hearts and minds of the native populations and
defeating terrorism, these unsanctioned invasions have only spurned
far more terrorists, including some citizens from the coalition
countries who can see how unfair the situation is. The wars have
pretty much bankrupted the US and UK, who both now have huge National
debts.

We are not in this picture even by accident. The people in turn lend
their support to the leaders and forget about the mundane issues.
I don't think it would have gone this way with Gore, but oh well...

So it's theirs. They even planted the idea in certain groups to later
catch them without ever doing a thing. They were from Miami.
They borrowed instead of taxing gas or something and that led to this
mess...
Yes, and the Fat Cats a.k.a. Neo-Cons have no "country" they mine the
world for their dreams of Power.
Theses latest wars seem to be about Oil. Opium and protecting Israel.
I think I know who the real terrorists are. Old white men.

Money! What a concept.
They can be prevented, but are nearly the bottom of priorities in real
life. The single most important law you can enforce to make traffic
safer is:
LANE DISCIPLINE: Every civilized nation in Europe mandates the
vehicles to pass on the outer lanes, instead of finding the chaotic
struggle to pass on our roads. That's DEADLY CHAOS, and I-95 around
here has been found to be the most dangerous in the nation --perhaps
the world.
Bicycles would also benefit from slowing traffic on the right lane
while allowing somewhat faster speeds on the other lanes. Instead of
30 mph across the board (40 average in real life) make it 25 on the
right and 35 on the other lanes. But don't let those laws sit on the
book, ENFORCE IT... or else like the current enforcing we have, it
would look predatory ($) in nature.
According to Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, here is a the list of America's Top 5 "deadliest"
highways:
1. I-95, Florida
2. I-76, New Jersey
3. I-4, Florida
4. I-15, California
5. I-10, California

Read the book above for more information. Driving on the phone is more
deadly than the evil Drunk Drivers, but it is lawyers, politicians and
doctors driving SUVs who do it more.
BAN THE PHONE! Or else everything is a joke. ;)

I don't think low IQ is reason for rejection from the Army, but they
figure it's more dangerous in the inner city and they have a financial
reward in joining the Marines.
And they are proud about something, whatever that is. Once they are
there, though, I think they rather be here.
OMG! Help!
