Fear

Fear is the most powerful force on Earth. It can cause humankind to commit any sort of heinous act in the name of safety. It also has the power to quiet, to quell, to placate a larger group. Many believe that to lead a nation to better times, there must be an enemy and if you look at America, we always had an enemy. Nazis, Japanese, the red scare, Saddam, Terrorists.

Unfortunately fear has been used against the American populace to shock or scare us into complicity with this administrations goals: greater censorship, a constant state of war, consolidated power, relinquished freedoms, faith-based initiatives, the degradation of secularism.

What are we scared of? What frightens America the most? Terrorism? Saddam? Iran? The nation of Islam? Foreigners? Illegal Immigration? Job loss? Atheists? Anthrax? Bird Flu? Mad Cow disease? My kid might fall down and hurt his widdle knee?

Are we safer? Were we ever in that much danger?

More people are killed in car accidents every month than in 9/11 total. Which country can we attack to stop that?

FDR was right. The ONLY thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Scare silly,
