... The manufacturing of fear has been brought to exquisite perfection in the United States of America.
King,
I've always admired your insight. While I think your entire post is right on, the particular point that struck a cord was the last sentence. Bush used it to get a big piece of our rights pilferred in one move.
I also note that it's not just our politicians that are using fear. Lastnite, a friend brought up the TV commercial about the woman walking to her car at night in a lonely parking lot and her remote control indicated an intruder in her car. Talk about playing on fears! Theres a better chance of being struck by a meteor than someone getting into your car and laying in wait...saw where that happened (meteor) several times on Discovery Channel
Also, OnStar has played the fear card to greater or lessor degree over the last few years.
