What we need is a little common sense. We can't live in a vault for the rest of our 

lives. We can't protect ourselves from every threat. There rae risks in life and we 

need to understand that.



If we really want to save lives, more than what any terrorist can do, we can ban:



1. automobiles

2. bathtubs

3. walking or jogging along a roadway

4. eating fats and cholesterol

5. cigarettes and all forms of tobacco

6. planes and trains

7. skiing

8. mountain climbing

9. you get the picture?



There are risks. There are many causes of death. We can't protect ourselves from all 

of them. Terrorism is a way of life now, unfortunately. We can't afford the cost to 

protect us from every conceivable threat. Accept it, and be vigilant. That is our best 

course.
