Yes, absolutely, since "bad things" can happen, let's outlaw flying, driving, and congregating in public places in America.

Everybody stay home and watch TV, then we'll all be safe.

ROFL Now who is the one overreacting?

They evacuate a building and maybe scramble some planes, and you liken it to a call to outlaw flying, driving, and congregating in public?

Holy non sequitor red herring strawman souffle!

We were home when our house caught on fire. Fire Marshall said if we had been asleep we probably would have died of the smoke and fumes before we ever knew there was a fire. Our smoke alarm didn't go off until after the firemen had been here about an hour. Fire was in attic. Smoke alarm is in house. ( We now have smoke alarm in Attic, too! ) but you are not safe staying at home, either. So I just go on out and have a wild time. LOL (We are almost finished with the fire damage/repair, it was kept to one closet, and the firemen saved ALL of the clothes in that closet). Next door neighbor saw the smoke coming out of the roof and came over with the water hose and he and my son kept water pouring on the fire until firemen got here.

On a brighter note, we now know how to do sheetrock, insulation, etc. It is a big smelly mess to work with, expecially the texture.

But staying home isn't always so safe......
