Great Comment from Bruce Schneier "we tend to worry about the spectacular and rare rather than common events such as spose abuse and automotive accidents"
Bruce Schneier gave a interesting podcast promoting his new book Beyond Fear. Lots of common sense and yet highly relavent information and some great quotes including the following:
"More people are killed per year by pigs than by Sharks" - based on US Government statistics.
"We tend to worry about the spectacular and rare - rather than common events such as spose abuse, automotive accidents"
"People tend to worry about the wrong things"
Bruce's Blog includes some interesting discussions.
