I'd never really believed in terrorists before-- I mean, I knew that in the abstract there were terrorists somewhere in the world, but they didn't really represent any risk to me.

Terrorists kill a lot fewer people than bathroom falls and accidental electrocutions. Worrying about them always struck me as about as useful as worrying about getting hit by lightning. .
