Fear, in this context, just isn't useful. If they get better at what they do, we get nastier in reprisal.

No one asked whether we -cared- about terrorism, they asked whether or not we feared it.

Thing about threats is, their underlying causes matter. If these same terrorists that aren't a big threat to you right now might get their hands on a better technology of warfare suddenly you'd have a significantly increased fear of terrorism. Just goes to show you didn't think it through. This is why we're more afraid of terrorists than other societal dangers, apart from the fact that fucking savages shoot masses of people in the civilised world every month or so.
This board man, I've never before seen so many regressives in one place.
