I'm not afraid of terrorism, are you?

I was reading a pew research poll where they asked the top voting issues and was shocked to find terrorism is #2. Whilel I think that Islam is a massive threat to the world and brings misery and instability to Millions and millions of people, I don't think that terrorism is hardly a problem at all. Islam is a problem because of war, because of the repression of women's rights and human rights. Islam is a problem because it contradicts free speech and the seperation of Church and state. They aren't a problem because of terrorism. Or rather in the west they aren't a problem because of terrorism. If you live in Baghdad maybe, but if you live in Seattle or Los Angeles or Paris or London, almost anything else is more likely to kill you. I don't worry about terrorism at all, I think that's kind of the point. To not be terrorized.

While the politically correct people on the right say that you are somehow a cold insensitive asshole for not being worried or sad about terrorism, it just isn't really a problem. Almost everything is more likely to kill you then terrorism. Eating too much cake and McDonalds kills hundreds of thousands times the number of people as terrorism. Consider for a moment some of the issues that voters consider terrorism more important of an issue then. Foreign policy. That means terrorism is a more important issue then war for voters. What the fuck?

Also: Health Care, Education, the Environment and Social Security all score way below terrorism in terms of voter importance. I guess the terrorists really have won.
