Word today in the news, our intelligence gathering agencies are fearful that the bad guys will use on-line gaming systems to traffic information.

Fearful?

Fear is being used to justify just about everything these days. If our government and we as a people are so fearful of everything, perhaps it is time to throw in the towel so to speak and let the roaches take over. Have we become a nation of fearful people, unable to function and so ready to give up every right because the government is fearful?

Our country being run on a platform of fear? If so, we have lost to whatever we've been told to be fearful of.

I swear, people need to man up. I am more worried about e-coli then I am terrorists.

Fear is the primary controlling device of the bullies running the Corporatocracy. If people are fearful they are more easily 'herded' into - and wherever desired.

I'm reminded of that comic that shows one lone sheep telling the other sheep, "I'm telling you guys, the man and the dog are working together"
"Oh, Trevor", they reply, "you and your conspiracy theories!"
