The Puritans were afraid of the Indians...
Southern plantation owners were afraid of their slaves...
The Cold War was all about fear of the Russians...
Fear! That's what this country is all about, and, honestly, our news media is most of the blame. Watch CBC or BBC news sometime if you can (a lot of PBS stations play BBC World News in the late evening), and pay attention to the different styles of reporting.
After studying this, I lost all respect for the American news media.

OH MY GOD MELON YOU SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO!!!!
(Watched Bowling for Columbine lately?)
I have yet to be scared. All of this is being blown way the hell out of proportion. The government wants us to be afraid, just like the terrorists so that we will support their murder for oil campaign.
Honey don't pack up and leave out of fear, do it out of disgust if you must, but not fear.
Hell I am leaving in March anyway, so who am I to talk?
Wanna know why I am scared? Because the CIA just announced the North Koreans have a weapon that can hit the West Coast (where I am.) Hey someone remind me why we aren't trying to stop the people that we know can attack us and who have threatened to.
this is just getting stupid.
Remember when the worst problem america had was blow jobs? My life for a liberal government.
