“With the numbers before us, you’d think we would at least stop wasting time and money protecting ourselves from terrorism and other bugaboos. The US ‘security’ budget, all in, is a fabulous sum — about $1 trillion a year. It seems foolish. The return on investment is paltry. By comparison, suicide prevention – as near as we could make out – is barely a footnote in the federal budget, only about $56 million a year. This despite the fact that the risk to the typical reader posed by himself is about 1,000 times greater that the risk from ‘terrorists.’”
