"Let's face it. Terrorism is an urban problem. We country folks can take care of ourselves."

Surely you've seen what goes on in the outlying Israeli settlements. Those are pretty rural, yet they come under attack all the time. Those folks expect attacks and prepare themselves, yet when the time comes, they still lose people. Terrorism is everyone's problem, mainly because terrorists don't discriminate when it comes to who they're killing.

Terrorism is everyone's problem, mainly because terrorists don't discriminate when it comes to who they're killing.

I agree that it's all our problem, but terrorists are like the little dweebs who spread computer viruses - they concentrate on Microsoft operating systems because that's where the people are.

Do you think they terrorists would get any coverage if they blew up the Stop 'N Go down at podunk corner? No, they want to kill a lot of people, so they go where there a lot of people - e.g. the big cities.

And of course out here in the country, many folks have loaded shotguns in their living rooms, handguns in their vehicles, etc. It's a little more dangerous out here for those who would harm our neighbors, yaknowwhatImeanVern?
