Odds of Dying

Active smoking: 1 in 771

Adult obesity: 1 in 2681

Intentional injury: 1 in 2810

Medical errors: 1 in 3061

Terrorism: Nearly nothing

Perchloroethylene (dry cleaning solvent):1 in 5,882,352

Did you get the part where the odds of terrorism related death weren't large enough to assign a number to?

Tell me again why we let them waste our money, planet, children, future and reputation with the flimsy and false excuse of war and security?
