Sorry for being unclear.
My point is that the article and subsequent comments by you and threatofrain establish a frame in which stressors are measured solely by their impact on fatality. The extra attention given to terrorism relates more to the conservative fear of losing their 'way of life'. Attempting to measure both of these things solely in relation to their impact on fatality misunderstands the reasons for fear over terrorism and creates a communication problem between the left and right.
I did not invoke your second point as I fully agree with it.
