Religion used fear of hell to keep people under control during the dark ages that still effect some today. We are the most educated people that ever lived and we still are managed by fear.
I am amazed how common sense disappears when fear is pushed on you! People stop thinking and start reacting. The recent earthquake is a good example. I mean NJ technical FAA center closed down due to fear of an earthquake that happened hundred of miles away.
If we lived in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. I could see how we could be managed by fear. Those people fear for their life daily. We Americans run scared at what I call media propaganda. And we fall for it every time.
Always remember it's when they don't project the fear that we should be cautious. Caught by surprise is what happened in New Orleans? We can't let one or two situations that people took lightly let us run with fear!
Yes prepare, but never let common sense overtake man's fear!
