On the other hand, with our population of 7.3 billion, it's kind of amazing that we don't see more terrorism. Personally, it kind of makes me feel good about Humans, given all the negatives that I usually hear about them. To me, the problem with terrorism (aside from the terrorists) is that there are people willing to jump in immediately with political (or financial) agendas. Within hours, I'd already seen comments on FB about how fewer people would have died if France had a 2nd amendment. And, over the past few days, I've seen so much pro-police-state propaganda in the US media that it frankly scares me to death. No - we really don't need more 'surveillance' or more build-ups in 'defense spending'. Call me 'crazy', but I really think we should be spending the trillions and trillions of dollars (which would otherwise go into the pockets of the propagandists) on our generation's geniuses to enable them to create the technologies that makes disease, poverty, and inequality obsolete.
