For all those who near and dear ones think you nuts about these threats and happenings and close calls foiled by security etc and all the news that doesn't make it into the mainstream, our infamous divers.
Imagine if we had bottled the fear prevalent after the Attacks, and everytime a massacre occurred in Kashmir, Bali, Moscow, Israel etc, we took that bottle out and took a whiff.
You're awake. Perhaps a little paranoid :) . Nothing wrong there. Lots of false postives, as Rumsfeld said, but no surprises.
Now if the TV folks delivered real news instead of pap, we wouldn't be surfing all these places.
Kids have a short attention span anyway. But most adults do not wish to confront the level of hate directed against us (by whom I mean virtually everyone.

"...if the TV folks delivered real news instead of pap, we wouldn't be surfing all these places."
And we wouldn't be putting our fingers up to see which direction the wind is blowing all the time either;)
We just recognize the media's snow job for what it is. Most folks are either too obtuse, too vegged out on the couch or too busy to connect the dots.
