Yes, because driving an SUV and eating at McDonalds are really where our concern should be. The truth is you're no better than the anti-drug, terrorism mongers

Rush Limbaugh tells them to fear terrorists so they line up to do it while NPR tells you not driving an SUV is bad so you line up to condemn it. Same sheep, different Sheppard.
In the end their not realizing the low statistical chance of a terrorist attack is just like you not realizing the scientific theory you've deified might not be correct and if it's not we'll have done nothing to find out how to actually deal with the problem.
- smokinjuan 17y agoI like your non-partisan approach. At the same time, I wonder; if people who worried about teh terrorists also worried equally about SUVs then maybe their breath would be watered down enough that it wouldn't support encroaching government expansion in either direction. The argument works in the reverse direction as well.
- GBKS 17y agoThat's a pretty aggressive reply, almost to the level of flaming. The point is that random theories of drugs, atheism and terrorism are made up problems that average people can't do anything about. Discussing security is important and being aware of potential threads is necessary and important, but to a limit. Taking care of the environment, eating healthy, saving money, improving things in your surroundings are things you can do to improve your life and your community. The sheep/shepherd argument is too simplistic and while it's something to think about, it was formulated in a way that it stops the conversation, instead of moving it forward.
