“It’s easier for people to assign malicious intent to a particular breed, so they don’t have to deal with the fact that they’re never truly safe, they’ll never be safe...That life itself is not safe.
It’s the same thing with second hand smoke, trans fat, global warming, hand guns, SUVs...Pick something and focus your fear on that,so you don’t have to deal with anything else.”

Of course people are not truly safe. That doesn’t mean you have to take stupid risks. Most dangers can be reduced. Trucks aren’t safe. Am I glad they have to have airbags and seatbelts? Yes.

Well, thanks for trying to help me decide which risks are worthwhile and which are not, but I’d rather take care of it myself. :-)
