" Also, philosophically speaking, it is important to have a sense of scale. On September 11, about 3000 people died. A terrible tragedy. Each day about 1000 die in the USA from smoking, and since the terrorist attacks about 100.000 americans have been murdered. There are appropriate responses, but neither «war on smoking» or «war on murder» names them. "
