1 in 6 billion? No, that would not be enough. You'd have to be certifiably insane to prepare for something that has 6,000,000,000 to 1 odds to occur. Frankly, one would be certifiably insane to prepare for something that's 1,000,000/1 odds.

Well 4 miles from my house the other day, a store owner was not killed after working 30 years at the store. I can name hundreds of people I know who weren't killed last year, myself included (surprise!).
