Since the attack of 9/11/2001, we have seen a huge upswing in in
Our loss of freedom and privacy. An expensive new government department called Homeland Security, Government monitoring our private communications, Cops who can apparently kill anyone with impunity.
Here are a couple of statistics:
1. 2,996 people (including the 19 hijackers) died in the 9/11 attack according to Wikipedia
2. 37,795 Traffic fatalities in 2001 according to NHTSA.
We killed more than 10 times the number of people as the terrorists in 2001. When it comes to killing Americans, the terrorists are no match for us Americans.
Did we need to take all of these actions in the wake of the attack?
