“…According to John Mueller, who holds the Woody Hayes Chair of National Security Studies at Ohio State University, “Even with the September 11 attacks included in the count, the number of Americans killed by international terrorism since the late 1960s (which is when the State Department began counting) is about the same as the number of Americans killed over the same period by lightning.”
Obviously, we need a War on Lightning, with billions of dollars going to the Military/Industrial complex to protect us from this threat to the American Way of Life ™ (/sarcasm)

The conclusion – Evil people are using fear of a Terrorist Boogie Man to stampede our friends and neighbors into a police state, promising “safety” and “security” against a threat that is far less dangerous to you than the freeway traffic you brave routinely.
Has anyone heard from William Stone III recently? He dropped out of sight a while back. Echosians and TLE readers wonder about him.
