Fear will always lead to an erosion of personal rights. Fear of child predators will lead to erosion of privacy rights, and fear of terrorists has deprived all Americans of the right to protection against unreasonable search/seizure. Welcome to modernity.

Fear is a completely normal and often useful emotion.

What scares me is how terribly bad we are at dealing with it. This is the weakness that terrorists try to exploit, of course.

We, as a society, seem to posess the emotional intelligence and maturity of a toddler being scared of the monster under the bed but happily following the friendly guy with a van full of candy.

It makes me so sad.
