If it isn't Halloween, it's another holiday.........don't shop, don't eat the food, don't drink the water, don't fly, don't don't don't don't.........
Since 9/11 every member of our family has flown, been to a football stadium, been to an outdoor event where 35,000 people congregated at a charity event, been to the mall, been to NYC, several times, including just a few days ago.......
Too bad you've all decided live isn't worth living........

Damn Straight. I've been to New Years Eve in NYC, I've been to London when there was Travel Alert for Yanks abroad, I've been to the Bears-Eagles Playoff Game...hell I should be dead. Every time there's a terror alert it seems that a large contingent of freepers fall into a panic and start spouting half assed theories about how the next big terror attack will be delivered. All I can do is be vigilant. Otherwise I'm going to live my life normally, and if I die from a dirty bomb or a missile hitting my plane, well at least I will die living my life the way I enjoy living it.

"Too bad you've all decided live isn't worth living........" All those things you've mentioned wouldn't be living in my book, but torture, but then that's just me. I guess that is one of the benefits of having a small town mentality and preferences. It is easier to keep your lifestyle from being effected one way or the other. I still do whatever I want to do, I am just more thankful now that what I want to do doesn't ever include being in enormous gatherings of people or flying on airplanes.
