RE: 9/11 - What does it mean to you?
I hear you but if I didn't have bad, I'd have no luck at all. I figure if I end up on a mountain minding my own business I'll only have to worry about the stats on lightning strikes.
I did know a girl in Boston who was hit by lightning! Well the metro area anyhow. She lived, when I saw her on the news she said she never wanted to be struck by lightning again. I almost fell off a cliff one time in the mountains.
See, good odds of survival there.
Lightning has already killed 20 Americans this year, as far as I can tell it is tied with terrorists right now, I don't count the terrorists themselves as victims though. For some reason the body counts include attackers

say what you will about the government they have some pretty impressive lightning statistics

I'll still take natural causes, I say all this about lightning but I'll end being the guy who gets eaten by a bear.
I have to say, I am thinking it may be better for my kids not to be attached to cultural icons and locations to make them happy, not sure it is possible to avoid it though.
When they grow up they will realize on their own how much those places suck. You have to do something to get them out of the house, probably the most dangerous part is driving there.
