    I've been reading a really good book called Risk, about why we're all so scared constantly despite being better off than we ever have. Obviously it talks a great deal about the media and politicians and how they manipulate data to push agendas, and how insignificant event get drawn into ongoing narratives and accumulate into HUGE ISSUES that we're all to be terrified about. They play with your flight or flight instincts and you don't even know it.

    So turn off you TV, stop reading the news so much and question every statistic you hear because up to 90% of them are bogus, or framed in such a way as to scare you. Including that one.
