Peanuts Kill More Americans Than Terrorists

If western governments were really trying win the "war on terror" they wouldn't give terrorists so much credit

The menace of global terrorism has been labeled the greatest threat to western civilization since communism and yet swimming pools, peanuts and lost deer kill more Americans every single year. Why are our governments facilitating the terrorist's agenda by hyping a peril that simply doesn't exist?

 

The number of Americans killed as a result of international terrorism since the 1960's gives us a benchmark from which we can correctly identify and target other dire dangers to our very way of life.

 

- Allergic reactions to peanuts

 

- Accident causing deer

 

- Lightning strikes

 

That's correct - all of the above have killed an equal number of Americans since 1960 as terrorism. One could even categorize M&M's, lost deer and the weather as an "axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world," as George Bush famously once said.

 

As Ohio State University's John Mueller concludes in a report entitled A False Sense Of Insecurity, "For all the attention it evokes, terrorism actually causes rather little damage and the likelihood that any individual will become a victim in most places is microscopic."

 

Last summer's much vaunted transatlantic terror plot, a facade that has since collapsed under the weight of its own absurdity, led to ridiculous measures in airports banning any form of liquids in carry on luggage and mother's were forced to drink their own breast milk. Yet there has not been a bomb planted in a piece of checked luggage on an American carrier since the 1988 Lockerbie disaster, itself a false flag inside job. Since that time hundreds of billions of Americans have been routinely interrogated about the contents of their luggage while cargo remains completely unchecked.

 

To equal the danger that Americans place themselves in every day by driving their car down the highway, there would have to be a September 11 every month. To reach the same level of risk that one undertakes in boarding an airline, you only have to travel eleven miles in a car.

Peanuts are a food of mass destruction...we must go into the regions that grow them, and eradicate them, before they are used against Americans. It is widely believed Sadaam Hussain and OBL planned to unleash penuts on the American people...

As far as peanuts go, wasn't it Jimmy Carter who caused the problem?

 

I'm just pissed off all our troops aren't out there killing deer!

I remember being struck by the thought during the VN War that more Americans were killed in traffic accidents each year than in VN combat. So why didn't LBJ or Nixon launch an air strike against Detroit? Why weren't cars totally banned?

 

The answer is obvious: the US government has been taken over by General Motors. (Who made him a general anyway???)

I didn't think Peanuts was that funny anyway.

We missed out on our take off peanuts on Qantas once because some idiot was allergic to them.

I had a colleague years ago at Silpakorn University who was allergic to peanuts. Whenever he accidentally got any ground peanuts in his food, he would itch and break out in a rash. Wasn't the same fella, was it?

 

p.s. And on the same line, in the 1970s and early '80s the Thai vendors fried their goobers in bacon drippings. Used to get a bag of peanuts with cracklings and diced up chives in it. Now it's all palm oil! I suspect some sort of Islamic conspiracy is afoot ...
