re: #88 goddamnedfrank

Average number of deaths per day caused by car and suicide bombings in Iraq, averaged by year.

Every.goddamned.day. Think about that for awhile.

Perspective indeed.

I returned home after a long absence (arrived by bus), put my things in the house, (left my cell phone on the table), locked up to go on errands only to find that my car’s battery was dead. I went back to the house and my front door lock malfunctioned so I was locked out. I ended up having to break a window to get in….

But while feeling sorry for myself, I realized I had not had a bad day——-no one in my family had been killed or maimed while going about their day.
