1% would be a lot. If I had a 1% chance of winning a $50 million lottery, I'd be playing it constantly. As is, I never play the lottery and my chances of winning are about the same as if I did.
Terrorism is nothing to be concerned about, to the degree that this country is concerned about it. But it damn sure makes a mighty fine Machiavellian method of controlling the populace.
Be afraid! Be very afraid! I will protect you!
What about crazy drivers? Now they're dangerous, even with all the laws and regulations we have in place to reduce the killing they produce. Let's ban all cars.
And don't forget farmers' alamancs.
