Yes, we all agree it was a very dark day for America, and a sad day for us all. However, lets keep it in perspective and not lose touch with reality. There are many, many other things that also deserve your attention.
About 822 people
a day die from obesity.
About 24,000 people die
a day of world hunger.
Almost 16,000 children die
a day from hunger
Around 1479 people die from cancer
a day and 3483 new people are diagnosed with it.
Around 4000 people die
a day from having a stroke.
Globally, around 8500 die
a day due to an AIDS related death.
Over 100 Iraqi
civilians die
a day, courtesy of the US military.
In the USA, every 12 minutes, one person dies because of a car accident.
Every 1 second, someone dies from either murder or suicide. That's 1440
a day.
This list could go on forever. Yet none of these deaths get anywhere near the same amount of press that 9-11 does, if any press at all.
If you have any stats for deaths per day, please share.
