The only thing that scares me more than terrorism is U.S. policymakers' reaction to terrorism.
I'm not sure which civil liberty they'll strike down next in the name of preventing future attacks. Their means-to-an-end attitude exposes not only hysteric, irrational thinking, but a fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution.
- k2enemy 13y agoI understand the spirit of your comment, but there should probably be a long list of things that scare you more than terrorism.
- hawkharris 13y agoI could have taken into account clowns, Stephen King novels and high cholesterol, but for the sake of wordplay and relevance to this discussion, I thought I'd leave it at terrorism. (Jokes aside, though, I understand your comment and agree that we shouldn't let terrorism paralyze us with fear, as it's intended to; plus, the risks of an American being killed in a terrorist attack are very low.)
