And "back packs" give me the shivers...........
We think alike.
My military training has caused me to subconsciously survey my environment for threats and look for weaknesses in security wherever I am. It would be extremely easy to build some kind of explosive device and detonate it in a highly occupied area. I also fear massive attacks on schools that would paralyze parents. I'm truly astounded that we have yet to see the type of suicide bombings that Israel deals with on a regular basis.
We live in such an open society that it is indefensible in its current state.
I too miss the good ol' days when all you had to worry about was getting to work on time and making it to Friday.
Makes me want to just give it all up and move deep into the mountains of Eastern North Carolina, Tennessee or Kentucky. I like to think that in some quiet country mountain pocket there exists a peaceful time and place that our parents knew when they were children.
