Why are you afraid? You don't have to be unless you disagree with the Bush
Administration. And, only about 70% here in the US have to be afraid.

Not really afraid JC. I just remember some slight comment I posted a
couple of year's back - I think it was a genuine comment I made about
a mass shooting in the States and what I considered far too easy
access to firearms. I really got flamed with the above comments and
more. Everybody's friend, he of the short member, really got into his
stride. Rather pathetically really. I guess it's very easy to a hawk
when you haven't any chance of being on the receiving end of a gun.
The comments didn't upset me, but were an interesting reaction.

I've lived outside the U.S. for enough years to view the place
impartially but even I know enough to stay away from some of the
emotional issues. Abortions, Guns, Gas Guzzling autos, etc......
