Americans are as likely to be killed by their own furniture as by terrorism

Posted on by

Last year, a total of seventeen U.S. civilians were killed by terrorists.

According to the report, the number of U.S. citizens who died in terrorist attacks increased by two between 2010 and 2011; overall, a comparable number of Americans are crushed to death by their televisions or furniture each year.

Comparatively, ladders pose a staggering risk to the safety of Americans, claiming 300 lives each year, while drunk driving claimed over 10,000 lives in 2010.

  1. Amen to that. The “War on Terrorism” is one of the most expensive boondogles of all time. The military. the spy agencies and the military contractors all are feeding at the endless spigot of Federal money by keeping the fear level high among our citizens.

    And I used to think that the “War on Drugs” was awful. It is, but it pales in cost by comparison.

    Maybe its time to declare victory and move on.

  2. Numbers don’t lie. It’s good to know that the war on terror is saving American lives. USA! USA! USA!
