Re: i just don't see this fear you see...????
Gotta agree, in part, with both you and 12621.
Most people I know have little fear. Not any big fears, anyway. Related to America - they have their fears for their own little world, of course. Not for hidden scandals, corruption, avarice, secret societies, war games, new world order, etc. They dismiss these things as either "an unavoidable thing" (corruption) or simply not true, definitely not provable. And there is so much, it boggles the mind, so in the end... do the best you can, and don't worry about the rest.
I sure sleep like a log and, like Bush/Cheney, it's faith in God.
Bush/Cheney words things very bluntly but I think he has some very good points (most of the time) and some people dislike having the truth put bluntly in your face. We prefer to call things "grey" instead of black and white.
