Far more people die from homicides than terrorism in the US. An even higher number of people die in motor vehicle incidents. If your going to allow your fear of terrorism to change your habits, then you should buy a nice sized rural property somewhere isolated from society, build a nice fence around it and never leave. Oh and domestic violence is also an epidemic, so you better make sure you live alone.
Obviously, everything we do in life has an element of risk attached to it. The risk of terrorism draws a very disproportionate level of fear. Live your life, be alert, be a good citizen and hope for the best.
I agree 100% with how people die in this country and that we should never allow terrorists to dictate how we live our lives. I do not fear terrorism or dying from it. But for Ferdinand Cesarano to suggest that the Boston Marathon bombing(homemade bombs just like in Brussels) was comparable to a hammer attack is silly. I am as anti-gun as the next guy who thinks no one should own a handgun but guns are not the weapon of choice of terrorists
