The Most Amazing Website I’ve Ever Seen!



Stop arguing with your liberal friends about what a dangerous place the world is, and just send them this website. A friend just sent it to me. It’s called Global Incident Map: A Global Display of Terrorism and Other Suspicious Events.

You have to see it to believe it, and I really mean to believe it: The world is a very dangerous place.

There’s nothing I’ve ever experienced – short of actually experiencing war or terrorist incidents --that so brings the message home, literally, right to your computer, and so comprehensively, about the need to be vigilant.

Give thanks this Thanksgiving, and every day, and express the same wishes to your friends, that you’re not in those places abroad. But, also, note the incidents in the U.S.

Through some programming wizardry, the site refreshes every 7 minutes, scanning every nook and cranny of the globe for terrorist incidents and events that may be, provides the links to the stories, and hooks up to Google to map them. You can search by time period, by location, by type of incident, and much more.

Simply amazing. Belongs on everyone’s computer screen.
