? Minus teleology, Marx's remark on India doesn't make any political sense at all.

On balance, I think my chance of getting into trouble with the U.S. government is far higher than that of getting on the wrong side of Al Qaeda, as I am not an American citizen & live in a placid cowtown in the Midwest (take that, big city boys & girls!). My chances of dying due to inadequate health care (they don't give adjuncts health insurance), getting run over by a car driven by a drunken frat boy after a football game, etc. are yet higher than both of the above.
