There are days when the one at Anderson Layman's Blog seems plausible.

Biking, Walking, and Danger

At Vox: The deadliest U.S. cities for biking or walking.

I notice that Phoenix and Mesa are the most dangerous ones for biking. Since Mesa is pretty much in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, consider combining the numbers.

This is one of those studies, however, where you wonder what's behind the numbers; e.g. which incidents are counted and which are excluded. If John Doe has a heart attack while walking, is that counted? Are motorcycles included?

The Group

The group is a collection of personalities and factions with personalities and the group itself has a personality and the factions can shift. The circumstances affecting each of those personalities can also change, sometimes enormously. Consider your own situation and there's a lot going on.

Always remember the chemistry.

First Paragraph

Race has affected all kinds of human relationships for thousands of years, and in all parts of the world. Strife between Africans and East Indians has erupted into varying levels of violence from Uganda to Trinidad. The "overseas Chinese" have been victims of mob violence and brutal expulsions in countries from southeast Asia to Mexico. Racial strife between blacks and whites, as in the United States, is part of a world-wide pattern.

- From The Economics and Politics of Race by Thomas Sowell (1983)
