the post was about race!! (i mean the damn title was WHITE ppl & fear) anyway i feel that at this point the collective fear is being used (manipulated) to set the stage for something deeper. it seems to me that the longer we are fighting this so called "war" the longer we are supposed to be in fear. this fear gives room and justification to all types outrageous actions and sentiments that would not come into being otherwise. I mean, folks are wiggin out. the longer this goes on the more entrenched this fear is, and people start feeling certain things are necessary. Think about it, alot of the so-called security measures that people want would not have prevented this from happening, these cats had all the i.d. they needed and studied the security system for years. anyway isn't kind of ironic that on Columbus day we were trying to kill one terrorist while celebrating another.
