Sorry to wake you from your slumber, but does Islamo-terrorism ring a bell? Some of us do fear future attacks--forgive us for facing reality.I'm the first to admit that I might be a bit weird here, but I'm not afraid of terrorists. The chances of me dying in, for instance, a car accident are exponentially higher than being the victim of terrorism, so I don't go about my day freaked out by it. And if they do manage to get me, well, I'm cool with Jesus, so that's OK.
Most people I know feel the same way, and I am located about 20 miles from New York City and knew several 9-11 victims.

Ah. A fatalist. And a self-centered one, to boot.

I live in Manhattan and also do not fear death. That doesn't mean I am "happy-go-lucky without a care in the world" about whether terrorists nuke American towns and cities in the future.

And your attitude about cancer is what? “Oh, don’t worry about that little speck on my nose. It hasn’t killed me yet.”
The issue OBVIOUSLY is not the IMMEDIATE risk of you dying today from the terrorist/speck but the GREAT danger of allowing it to metastisize tomorrow and becoming FATAL.
