Who’s Afraid of the Terrorists?
(Please note: this article was originally published here)
Not me. Or at least, I’m not so much afraid of them as I am the obviously insane homeless guy down the street brandishing a stick. I’m more afraid of someone weaving back and forth between lanes on the highway because I know I’m in control of my car, but that guy looks either drunk or stupid (and yes, probably both).
I feel more anxiety from doctors and dentists than from terrorists. I know it’s irrational but let’s face it, how often do you have to go in to see the terrorist? Sharks scare the living hell out of me and I suffered nightmares about them for years and years after seeing Jaws as an impressionable 12 year old yet I still surf.
