I do not recall seeing anyone on this thread stating that we shouldn't go shopping, but I am reading rather quickly.

Maybe you are as well...

Recognizing that shopping areas, gas stations, and other crowded areas of opportunity are being targeted is not the same as cowardly behavior, in my opinion.

What is your problem?

WELLLL I guess I am gulty. On one post I suggest that if during the Christmas season they haven't caught this psycho yet that maybe going shopping in another state or doing it online might be an option. But that is if you feel like you are not safe shopping in the Virginia/Maryland area. But it's entirely up to the person and I think there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself and your loved ones. :-)

My problem is that I see my fellow citizens being cowed by one or maybe if you follow the more extreme theories, a handful of people. My problem is I see a future where the events of the last few weeks may pale in comparision. My problem is I'm most fearful of what demands for more security will do to what freedoms we have remaining.

My problem is I see very little brave, here in the land of the free.

How many people live in the area that has been directly effected by this sniper? Millions? So the odds of any person being shot are one in multimillions. Do you honestly see the current level of fear appropriate to those odds? Does the current level of fear give you any sense that we, as a nation have the balls to deal with what may come in the continuing war on terror?
