Killing off the 'High Fructose Corn Syrup vs. Terrorism' meme

I see this argument all the time.  I know you can't stand it yourself:

"50,000 people die every year from car accidents. Why do we spend so much time worrying about terrorism?"

"Which kills more people every year, High Fructose Corn Syrup or Terrorism?"  (Bill Maher)

Smoking kills more people.... yada yada yada.

Here's a quick response:

 "Heart disease kills 20 times more people than murder.  Why do we spend so much money on police?"

Of course, some on the far Left would agree.

(The actual numbers are 400,000 per year vs. under 18,000 per year.)
