2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

But at least it gives you an idea of the relative safety of various modes of transportation, although keep in mind that the relative safety of a bus trip though Wisconsin cannot be matched up with taking the bus through Afghanistan.

nah; I'll post it here like everyone else.
