Wow, can't believe that lightning is a bigger cause of death than earthquakes or floods.
Damn that means that the trivia card I didn't believe was right.

True, but this is only for the USA.

AIDS and Hunger would be more prevalent in a worldwide chart.

Wait, those statistics must be only for America. http://www.lightningsafety.com/nlsi_lls/fatalities_us.html
This must surely pale into insignificance compared to yearly death tolls of earthquakes and floods around the world.

Genocide is not a problem in the USA as far as I know.
