You can minimize your risks, but you can't make other people drive better. Even if you can reduce your risk by 90%, that 4k a year still looks pretty bad compared to what's being worried about here.

See, Mike, that's exactly what I think. I was glad when Cobalt said they were hiring screenwriters. I believe we did that in WWII--hired smart creative types to think things out. And I think we ought to understand that we may have a serious "terrorism war" ahead and that we should do just that--learn quick and fast from the Israelis--a democracy that has lived with this their entire existence. Indeed, there may be aspects of our way of life we WON'T change, but as I was saying today at this particular luncheon (a bunch of psychiatrists and researchers), the big plus they have now is they understand our psyche, because they've lived among it. And I don't think we "get" them. We are confounded by them. But the Israelis probably aren't.
