" - - - although the probability of an attack may be low, it may get higher. If
you think of car accidents or the background rate of murder in the U.S.
as a chronic disease, you can think of terrorism as the Ebola virus.
Yes, the chances such a virus will infect any of us in the U.S. are
small, but if it gets established, things could get very bad. When
someone with Ebola manages to get to the U.S., we don’t dismiss it by
saying, “Look, a lot more people die of cancer!” The alarms go off and
stringent health measures are taken."

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
