Reasons for Passing

I found this visualization online showing the causes of death. Isn’t it interesting that suicide appears almost three-times the occurrence of HIV. It goes to show that the things that have the greatest mind-share or the greatest amount of media coverage are not necessarily the biggest causes of death. Another thing that surprised me was the unusually high number of deaths caused by unintentional injury (5%!)

I’m On the Run from the Killer B’s

B for Belief. B for Belonging. The B's that lead to most of the killing in the world. If you don't Belong among us, then you're our inferior, our enemy, or both. And you can't Belong among us if you don't Believe what we Believe. Maybe not even then, but it certainly helps. Our religion, our party, our tribe, our town, our school, our race. Believe. Belong. Behave. Or Be Damned.
