Gareth,

I remember your touching tribute of five years ago very well. Thanks for
posting it and the link again. I've avoiding the dramas "based on" the
events of that day (including "creative license"), political speeches and
other "remembrances" that are taking place here all day. But I was once
again moved by your heartfelt tribute and glad for a chance to recall those
we lost and the emotions we felt without a commercial or political sponsor.
Many, many thanks.

Absolutely. But brave firefighters, policemen, ambulance crews, and
other emergency responders put their lives on the line -- and lose
their lives -- every day. But that certain political party is unable to
milk their deaths for political and financial gain as it can the 9/11
tragedy.

"Fighting" terrorism is, after all, big business -- the new Cold War
that the far right so desperately needed, and the political party to
which I refer is owned by big business. As long as their scare tactics
work, gullible voters will give them carte blanche to spend trillions
on this minor* threat to enrich themselves and their cronies.

Umm, excuse me, but it appears that Gareth's tribute was heartfelt, while
you've used those deaths to make a political statement. This tribute is
about the people who died on 9/11, not about your fucking political
opinions.

I have my political views on the subject I can assure you, but this
isn't the place for them.
My tribute was just my way of trying to sympathise with those poor guys

Those deaths were accidental and mostly avoidable. Each of the WTC
deaths were labeled as homicide. Murder is generally not avoidable,
unless you spend money to prevent it. Not spending money fighting
terrorism is like not spending money on law enforcement in general.
Imagine the number of deaths if murderers could kill people without
fear of being caught...

If they're avoidable, why not focus on actually avoiding them?

Perhaps 40,000 to 400,000 per year? I.e. the number which now is
the de facto accepted for car and tobacco related deaths.... no,
I'm not saying we should accept such numbers --- neither for terrorist
nor for car accident or tobacco related deaths. But it is interesting
that 400,000 deaths/year due to terrorism would be considered a
catastrophe, while 400,000 deaths/year due to tobacco is considered
quite acceptable....

There is already lots of focus on avoiding them. Think of all the money
car manufacturers spend on safety, how much the government spends on
anti-smoking campaigns, etc.

Yes, that is exactly my point. There is a world of difference between
accidental deaths (misadventure) and deliberate, premeditated killings.
Tobacco users have a choice. They know that their habit can kill them.
Some may even argue that they deserve to die, that they are effectively
guilty of killing themselves. The tragedy of someone killed in a terrorist
attack is that they lost their life through no fault of their own.

Sweden, with 9 million people, have some 550 yearly deaths due to car
accidents - that's some 60 yearly deaths per million inhabitants.

The US, with 300 million people, have some 40,000 yearly deaths due to car
accidents - that's some 130 yearly deaths per million inhabitants.

You can do better than that, can't you?

Do you think commercials for tobacco should be allowed or not? They
certainly do entice more people to become smokers (if not, there would
be absolutely no point in advertising for tobacco, and then such
commercials would vanish by itself - but they don't).


> The tragedy of someone killed in a terrorist attack is that they lost
> their life through no fault of their own.

True -- but the same can be said about those who e.g. are run over by drunk
drivers and die: they too lost their life through no fault of their own.
And there are definitely more people killed by drunk drivers than by
terrorist - yet we see no "war on drunk driving", and no restrictions
in personal freedom due to the fight against drunk drivers. Those who
drive drunk are caught and punshed - after having done their damage - and
the rest of us will just have to live with the risk of someday encountering
a drunk driver which haven't yet been caught.

As a matter of fact, most people who die lose their life through no fault
of their own - the majority die from some kind of disease (we can here
exclude those who die at old age - sooner or later we must all die).

Of all those who die before old age, and of no fault of their own, only
a small minority die from terrorist attacks.


Again, do read: http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0609.html#1

and put the various risks of being injured or killed in different ways
in their right proportion.

The more relevant statistic would be deaths per passenger-kilometer.
I found deaths per vehicle-kilometer at

http://cemt.org/IRTAD/IRTADPUBLIC/we2.html

but not deaths per passenger-kilometer. The reason could be that
vehicle load factors are not unifomly reported.

If you've ever been a habitual smoker, then you know how addictive it is,
and how difficult it is to quit. It's easy to assume that smokers have a
choice, and are therefore to blame, when the fact is that physiologically,
many may not have that choice. It is extremely difficult to change habits
that people develop over decades. Add the physiological addiction to that
equation, and you have a trap that becomes nearly impossible for many to
escape.

Air bags, seat belts, anti-lock brakes, etc, etc, etc, and we still have a
lot of automobile deaths. No amount of technology is going to take the

Sweden, with a population of 9 million, has some 550 deaths in car
accidents yearly -- that's some 60 yearly deaths per million
inhabitants.

The US, with a population of 300 million, has some 40,000 deaths in
car accidents yearly -- that's some 130 yearly deaths per million
inhabitants.

You can do better than that, can't you?


# No amount of technology is going to take the stupid out of the driver.

Of course the situation cannot be solved only with technology. If
you can't take the stupid out of the driver, you must take the stupid
driver out of the car - right? You can also make public transportation
a more attractive alternative - if people choose to make fewer car rides,
there will be fewer accidents.

Surely we can. Having said that, we have tens of thousands of miles more
roads than Sweden, and millions more people driving on them.

Perhaps in parts of the East people have enough mass transit options
that they don't have to drive as much. If they want to leave town to
places where there is no mass transit (most of the US outside of bigger
cities), the only alternatives are cars/trucks.

How do most people reading this newsgroup get to a dark site, which is
almost always outside a city/town? They either live there, or they drive.

America needs to wake up and see thru the glossed over bullshit.
Here's an email I have recently sent to a friend who is a fire fighter.
If you haven't heard about this yet, its no surprise, mainstream media
is not on our side:

"There were many fire/rescue/police/unselfish volunteers who were there
that day on 9/11, that are now speaking out about this. Hopefully they
will get there point across before they all die from the poisons in the
dust which included 400,000 lbs of lead, 200,000 lbs of asbestos,
several thousand pounds of mercury and other dangerous chemicals,
including radio active materials that can't be explained. The ph level
of the dust has been tested at ph 12, equivalent to Draino. If you
know nothing about this, it's because mainstream media is avoiding the
whole story since it is extremely damaging to the government. There is
now evidence that the EPA warned the Bush administration about high
toxic levels of these elements on Sept 12th, 2001 and urged warning the
rescuers to which the Bush administration forced them to issue
statements stating that it was safe to carry on the cleanup and rescue
efforts. When the EPA asked to warn them to wear dust masks, the Bush
administration responded "No, we don't want to scare anyone". "


You idiots that keep writing off the evidence as "political opinion",
or "negative Democrat campaining" fail to recognize that this is a
fight to vindicate the lives that were lost on 9/11, the lives that
have been lost since, and the lives that will be lost if we don't put
our political differences aside and recognize the true crimes against
humanity that have been masked by the "noble" intention of spreading
democracy. WAKE UP AMERICA, IF WE DON"T BEFORE THE REST OF THE WORLD
DOES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE THAN A FEW TERRORISTS TO DEAL
WITH.

I dare anyone to dispute this time line page which is based solely on
validated info and evidence, http://www.911timeline.net/
