STUDY: YOU'RE AS LIKELY TO DROWN IN A TOILET AS TO BE KILLED BY A

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DAVE LINDORFF, OPED NEWS - The New York Times, in its science section,
reports that a new study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry
has found that while the risk to Americans of dying at the hands of a
terrorist was roughly equal to the chance of "drowning in a toilet," the
risk of cardiovascular disease among people who are frightened about the
threat of terrorism is 300-500% higher than for people who are not
worried.

What this means is that the Bush/Cheney administration, by constantly
hyping the nation's fears of terror through the use of everything from
daily color-coded terror alerts, to absurd inspection procedures at
airline terminals and parcel post restrictions, is actually scaring some
of us to death.
