Terror. Does anyone care?

I wasn't in the slightest affected by 9/11 or the war in Afghanistan or Iraq or any of it. I suppose I have our brave military men and women who risk their lives to keep me safe at night to thanks, but politically I am completely apathetic and more concerned with not getting run over by a car, unluckily being diagnosed with a terminal illness or falling down a staircase and breaking my neck or some other random tragedy than being a victim of a terror attack.

>>14 "The conservatives merely have the foresight to cut spending before the problem arises." Yeah, well, they take aim at Soc. Sec. because they know that companies don't want to offer health care anymore. They care more about their idea of 'America' than about actual Americans. Also - http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/social_security/index.html These people are real heroes - aiming for objective truth is always more impressive than standing by big ideals and having a rigid heart - http://www.truthaboutsocialsecurity.com/description/index.html Listen, I dislike the government because empirical evidence shows that it is usually worse than the market - but the current American right doesn't know how to privatize.
