Logging tops this list of risky roles, with 127.8 deaths occurring per 100,000 workers. The data comes from the 2012 National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and is represented in a terrifying infographic released today by FinancesOnline.com.

You're obviously not them and know what I'm saying. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

When it involves danger from the human element, retail workers like clerks in shop-and-robs are high on the list. Paul Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.
