In some ways I agree - however let's face it. As a whole people in general would just panic if they heard EVERYTIME that something was terrorist related.

On a side note - a woman on our POA board is also on the board of the subdivision next to ours. There is a 15 year old girl in the neighborhood who has been charged with making "terroristic threats" ... but NOT the type of Terrorism we're talking about .. she threatened a neighbor with destruction of her property (the neighbor's). Of course when an older woman read it in the local paper ... she immediately thought "TERRORISM" .. like a threat to National Security - so she called my friend to advise her of the terrorist living in her neighborhood.

That in a way concerned me - because by using that terminology for threat of mischief - they've WEAKENED that true threat of Terrorism we have as a nation.

Sheesh ... life's getting awful complicated.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud. Nobody said "every" incident should be attributed to terrorism. Only the ones that ARE. People need to use common sense.
