Terrorism and the ‘Bath Tub’ Argument

Alfred E. NeumanDefeatist Londoners and other appeasers  are settling down to the 'new normal': slaughter, including beheadings, on the streets of great and not-so-great cities. 

But what's the big deal? In yesterday's London incident only four were killed and only a few more injured.  Compare terror deaths with bath tub deaths and you will see that the likelihood of getting whacked by a jihadi is vanishingly small as compared to bath tub deaths or traffic fatalities or gun deaths.

I refute this specious reasoning in a couple of posts. See Thinking Clearly about Terrorist and Non-Terrorist Gun-Related Deaths in which I counter the Unsinn of Robert Paul Wolff, the guy over at The Stoned Philosopher The Philosopher's Stone.
