WEAC/Sassy re: fear
I know it can be difficult, but I think you have to just live you life, and not worry about terrorism on a personal level. You do what you can to keep yourself and your family safe and then try not to sweat that which you cannot control. Again, I know it's not easy, but to do otherwise, you just help their cause and make yourself a victim even if nothing is directly done to you and yours.
I know what you mean, WEAC. I have decided that I will not let the actions of a few assholes dictate how I live my life.
It is a bit uneasy, though, when I travel to the airport each week and see the National Guard with their side arms. Going through security was a bitch this morning, yet it is still mere window dressing. I know that the next attack (and we all know there will be a next attack) won't be on an airplane. I just wonder where and when it will happen.
