Yes, maybe you are right. All you have to do is listen to some of the survivors of Ground Zero on 09/11 to hear how, in an instant, priorities change. I think priorities changed for a lot of us in the US. Alas, for some that shift was temporary. I hear what you're saying. We own a small (very small) business. Life would DEFINITEly change, but...we'd be alive. To me, it's worth the risk. Just my two cents.

The big one seems to be coming and a lot of people will lose their lives, but humanity will go on.
