When the power went out in NYC a few years ago, one of the talking heads on TV said something to the effect that *everyone* immediately assumed it was terrorism. Similar reactions seem to be made when a plane crashes, there is a foul odor, there are lighted gizmos on bridges in Boston, etc. When something like these happens. Do you immediately assume it is a terrorist attack, or try to think rationally and gather facts?

I don't assume terrorism. I try to rationally gather facts. Why get all hysterical and assume the worst without knowing the facts.

yes, absolutely, when a tragedy occurs I immediately think
"terrorism".
You get this way when the world got very ugly with the last attack
on 9/11......WE should be alert at all times, it's not a good way
to live but better safe than sorry....
Before 9/ll no one had the fear that is so instilled in our brains and
in our hearts.....The truth is that everyday there is Chavez, who is
a pig, insulting the Americans then there is the Iranian President
who speak out quite openly of his hate and his determination to
kill us all. Then we have our own homegrown socialists and
those that betray our country socializing with Chavez for
$10 million, and commit treason openingly and on one even
questions them......but if it were you or me boy would we be
hauled off to the prison pronto......
Now I can continue with my rhetoric, and if you give it some
thought and review all of the events since 9/ll, by the way
we forget that not only the twin towers were attack, but so was
the pentagon, on the death sheet was the White House
and good Americans on United 93 flight....
why continue, do remember the real bad people, it is not
the conservative but those who are trying to destroy us and
our beautiful counttry.
So yes, I automatically assume it is terrorism, and I shouldn't
have to apologize for my feelings nor my thoughts.

I try to think rationally but it isn't easy. I don't automatically assume every plane crash is a terrorist act. But I'm getting ready to fly from Europe to the U.S. with my family this summer for the first time in three years and, yes, I am (irrationally???) nervous

I go to work with a terrorist everyday.....my boss.
And no, I don't, but it crosses my mind every now and then when the next attack will be. All experts say that it's not a matter of if, but when.

were human, and we were attacked also, so, yah, if some thing strange comes up, were gonna think there are some fowl intentions going on.
Too much rationality could shorten your life span, but just a bit is good

its the reds under the beds
IE the commies are coming
or the drug dealer in every school [next door] complex
its that fear complex ,the need to blame and shame a cause to everything so you can say we know the problem
we are on it
only we /he can save you
strong fearless leaders need to create fears they now aren't to be feared.
