Good one Rish! I take only one exception. Terrorism is intentionally directed at the innocent. Hence the terror aspect. Auto deaths are purely inncidental. A long reach connecting the two, even in satire. Perspective Indeed! (Note the lower right hand corner:hehe

I just realized what those bur'qaahs look like: The Imperial Sardukar warriors in Dune. I tried to find a good image of one but could only come up with smallish stuff like this

Hence the terror aspect. Auto deaths are purely inncidental. A long reach connecting the two, even in satire. Perspective Indeed! I think you're missing the point here Black. The way I took it was that people greatly overreact to the effects of terrorism, when things that we consider completely normal (auto accidents) actually claim a great deal more life, and are not getting anywhere near the same amount of attention. The cartoon isn't trying to connect terror with auto deaths -- it is trying to highlight the fact that A) We are overlooking things that have a higher level of impact on our lives, and B) That everybody is so hyped up on terror. Good find Rish. And: Vote DEMOCRAT The Republicans should have this published with that sticker highlighted. Might help a good bit at the polls.

Your right Psweet. And Rish. We do knee jerk. I saw the humor in responding with a traffic oriented pic. It wasn't a rejection of the validity of the Satire you posted. Other than when you see the World trade Center crashing down. Auto deaths seem..., miniscule.

No real reason to post this ... but the GOP needs equal time.
