Today's lesson: terrorism is more scary and riveting than industrial accidents that kill 10 times as many people http://lat.ms/15mwsRo
Possibly because industrial accidents don't happen in "our" sorts of neighborhoods?
I also think it's worth adding this in on the "organic vs conventionally farmed" balance sheet.

I'm not sure which I find scarier: People who kill deliberately, or people who kill casually because they can't be bothered to be careful.

Industrial accidents, while tragic, usually don't include malice aforethought. What scares us about terrorism is not so much the body count as the malignant will of the evildoer.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
