(10,201 posts)I'm not saying there is no risk. Everything in life is a risk. Everything.
Getting in the car is risky, but we still do it.
Eating can be risky. But we still do it.
Swimming can be risky. But we still do it.
You see the thing is, if you take the number of people who's lives were cut short by those terrorists, the same number also lost their life by choking to death and drowning, and another 3,273 people that day lost their lives in traffic collisions. Every single day, a 9/11 death toll occurs on our roadways.
Police officers killed more people that week than the terrorists did.
You are more than welcome to live in fear of something that in all probability will never have a direct effect on you. Just don't expect the rest of us to have the same irrational fear.
