[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anywhere is completely safe, but it has always helped me (a statistics minor) to remember that these incidents, though they get a lot of press and seem to be everywhere, are still happening to a tiny, tiny subset of people. So if you have a school shooting, it's one building out of thousands of buildings. Yesterday's shooting was 2 people out of the approximately 319 million people in the United States. And some of these incidents are not random, so if you can try to surround yourself with sane people and not do things to piss off someone unstable, you're probably going to be ok. Then again, I've lost people close to me at early ages, so I'm a little callous about death. Death is part of life. (this view helps me to be more relaxed about the fact that my daughter's dad is often deployed to terrorism hot spots, doing things that piss off terrorists.)[/quote]
