Because it just took all the deaths over 100 years and sorted them out into categories really didn't show <b>risk</b>. The were no ratios set up between total deaths and population. Nor was it limited by time. The chart showed lots of intersting things -- like the ideological death tolls -- but not risk.Big Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488250533536442903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-7247449266071512432013-06-12T23:20:35.799-04:002013-06-12T23:20:35.799-04:00I couldn't help but admire the first chart of ...I couldn't help but admire the first chart of "Comparison of Annual Fatality Risks". I greatly admired the <a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/20th-century-death/" rel="nofollow">"20 Century Death"</a> graph, but for all the months of visual arts and information talent and technology that must have gone into that wonderful graph, I found this simple list more informative and easier to access. It also answers more questions. Should we be spending more money on protection from deer or protection from terrorists? Is spending our money helping? (Compare Canada with U.S.) Was WW II really as bad as it seemed for the world? Would you want to live in Iraq from during the Bush administration or in Northern Ireland during any administration in the last 40 years? Are we taking too many baths?James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-38414250585274183402013-06-12T22:21:52.369-04:002013-06-12T22:21:52.369-04:00Of course, the question that haunts us is: what w...Of course, the question that haunts us is: what was Snowden's secret?Big Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488250533536442903noreply@blogger.com
