And, for that matter, crime.Brian H.

Seriously: perhaps it would be best to turn immediately to the Local section of the news.Brian H.

Given the facts explained in my blog, I'm not certain why I should be any more concerned with terrorism than I am with traffic accidents, cancer, or muggers.<br /><br />Perhaps you could help.Fowl Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667279541680008202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162431493776686444.post-15181633227677998932010-11-11T14:36:55.512-06:002010-11-11T14:36:55.512-06:00I'm looking forward to next year's.
