On getting a sense of priorities

In the last ten years, smoking has killed 4,000,000 Americans. Traffic has killed 400,000. Terrorism has killed 4,000.

(Can't remember where I stole this from)

I'm not sure about the 4,000

because, depending on how you look at the causes, you have to include all the American servicemen dead in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And the death of one person is bad.

But everyone dies.

That means God is bad.

So we should ban God.

I could get even more un-PC, but I've had people ranting at me before when I mentioned it, so I won't go through that again uninvited.

So I'll just say 8,000 people a day die of AIDS worldwide.

And something like 10,000 children a day die of starvation and malnutrition-based diseases.
