A valiant attempt to use logic, reason and statistical reality to dispel our fears about airplane crashes, road rage and young black men. Pre-9/11, it has a wholesome feeling (should we be more afraid of terrorist attacks? Residents in NYC, London and Madrid might have a strong opinion) of fears that we used to worry about - Internet porn, for example. The main message remains the same - our real problems are so large and complicated and difficult to fix it's far easier to get worked up by less substantial problems.
