I love the one about the a "virtual" bonfire last Bonfire Night in the UK.
A rugby club decided a real bonfire was considered too risky, so a large screen with a picture of a bonfire was set up instead.
This is not an urban myth. Search for it on BBC News in the UK or UK Yahoo. Honest, I am not kidding!
The "virtual" bonfire created safety risks for a much larger group of people. I'm sure that I am not the only one who fell off my chair in fits of laughter.

the fact that everything in America is an emergency.
This also:
financial safety- capitalism, currency
emotional safety-customs, etiquette
everything is so perverse, we need to completely restructure everything, and forget about this "safety" complex, because we are in no way "safe", ever. we are always alone (bodies) but you know safety isn't even a word without danger, so maybe we could eliminate it someday.

Since Halloween was just a few weeks ago, it reminded me of the razor blades in candy scare. I think that happened to three people in total. Obviously, it is terrible that it happened at all, but it shouldn't be something the nation should worry too much about.

I agree with the Halloween scare response.
But, I guess I also think the terrorism warning system is very over-rated.
