Why are we so frightened?

Let me ask this another way. And I’m not trying to start a fight, I just want to understand. We know that the odds of being killed in your car is a lot higher than being killed in any kind of attach, and yet we continue to drive. However, we are so afraid of terrorism, that many are willing to pay huge sums of money and give up freedoms Americans have enjoyed for 200 years.

Why are we so scared when the real danger of terrorism is low?

If we are so scared we are willing to give up our freedoms, does that mean the terrorists win?

I know it is illegal for a teacher to have sex with an underage student, but how illegal is it for..?

a teacher who is say 23 and the student is 18, then is it still illegal? i mean that really isnt much difference in age, if you figure it would be like a senior dating a freshman in high school. Maybe they need to make it a law where you have to be so old to teach, its just to taboo.

What is wrong with this picture?

In the past, the news stories from India were full of poverty and starvation. Tonite I heard a news story about a new problem India is facing: obesity. It is estimated that 17% of India's population is severely overweight. That amounts to about 200 million fat people, which is equal to 2/3 the population of the USA. The story stated India is ill equiped to handle the NEW health problems this presents.
I guess Americans, particularly the unemployed IT people, can take comfort in the fact that Indians are getting fat off all our jobs exported to India by our politicians and big business.
How long before the news talks about the problem the Mexican government is having with wet-back Americans crossing the border to work illegally?
Americans, we are being raped by our politicians and the world. How much longer will we allow this to go on.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If evidence in terrorist trials is kept secret, how will we ever know the truth?

If the US is allowed to murder people with out transparancy, how will the rest of the world forgive us? " Graham said CIA Director Michael Hayden told Republican senators this week that the CIA interrogation program would fail unless Congress passed Bush's plan — an assertion Graham said was "over the line."

The White House legislation would cause a "ripple effect of monumental proportions" because it would invite other nations to revise their interpretation of the Geneva Convention standards, said Graham, R-S.C.
