Dear Susan,
please relax, I don't think anyone in the lacemaking world has got time to go
and plant bombs around, we are too busy making lace :-). YOu don't have to give
your full name on the net anyway. I often wonder why people put their full name
as their email address, unless they are trading, and want people to know who
they are. I don't think you've ever seen my full name, have you? I noticed your
email address is not revealing everything about you either, so even if you live
in a small town (and you can say instead you live "near" a well known big town,
whichever it would be) there must be quite a few susn there, no?
I would say the chance of anyone being killed in a road accident is a lot more
likely that being killed in a terrorist attack!! Many more people die every day
from being hit by a drunk driver than are killed in one go by a bomb going off
or a plane crashing because it hasn't been maintained properly. The thing is it
sounds much more horrifying, and people panic more because it's not a "common"
thing. Although after about 10 years of terrorism by the Algerians in France, I
can't remember the Parisians of panicking much, even though bombs went up
nearly evey week somewhere in the town. They were pretty blase about it after a
while, and just acted normally.
To me, all these are the same: a terrible waste of good lives of people who
never harmed anyone. It doesn't matter if it is a terrorist, a drunk driver, or
a sex killer, they are all just as bad.
