The highest correlation of a visit from the Grim Reaper is actually based on the level of household income. The Grim Reaper visits those folks more often at the bottom end of the income distribution curve.
Ask the Kennedy’s, Sunny Bono or John Denver what they think of this…
My point is risky behavior comes to all people regardless of class. Risk like running for public office, flying planes you are not really familiar with and skiing down a mountain at high speeds, flying homemade planes.
There are poor and rich people that manage risk well, just as there are poor people and rich people that engage in risky behavior or even in normal things that may be better managed to a lower risk.
I don’t think most of us here fall into a lot of the high risk areas as much as most people do. We are somewhat more aware and willing to take a look at our actions and possibly change them to safeguard ourselves and that of our families.
After 9/11 I can’t understand how anyone can comfortably go to work in a building that is any taller then a fire truck ladder can reach.
