Statistically speaking, the chances an American will be killed by terrorism is vanishingly remote, but that danger has propmpted a wholesale abandonment of our civil liberties. The government would save more lives if it took 5 percent of the anti-terrorism budget and mounted a public relations campaign against obesity (I'm not advocating such a campaign), and returned the other 95 percent to taxpayers (I am advocating returning money to taxpayers).

    It's time to reverse my favorite line in the Beatles song Taxman: one for you, nineteen for me. This song is normally sung from the Taxman's perspective. Some of us would consider 5% oppressive, but it would be such an improvement that I would no longer complain about it.

    And what would the odds become if we did nothing to combat the terrorists?

    Just asking, to be "objective" about it.
