Terrorism, bird flu, SARS, AIDS, drugs, crime; a cornucopia of paranoia. The media serves it up and we gorge ourselves on it. What is the problem? Do we not feel complete unless we think something's out to get us? Quality of life is better now than it ever has been, why are we looking for the boogyman around every corner?

Because it's largely profitable.
Who would want to get stuck to the TV set when everything is fine?
Fear is the most profitable business.
Ask any media mogul.

Because our lives are so easy. Women don't have to walk miles for water, there's no malaria, there's no famine with a 7/11 open all night and and if you don't have health insurance your sick kid will not be turned away from the emergency room because you don't have cash.
To make our lives complete we have to worry about SOMETHING!!

This is a good question. We want to be informed and aware--I am not afraid of any of those things.
