All the news these days about terrorism is depressing. No, not becuase of the acts of terrorism but becuase of people's reaction to strangers. Now people are even more paranoid. For some time now eople have not been able to look each other in the eye as exhibited by their stares at their shoe laces or other objects when walking down the streets. Only the "beautiful" people get looked at and now all others will probably be suspicious persons in the minds of these wimps who would not know a terrorist if one were standing directly in front of them. I hope the U.K. pulls through this and they don't succumb to these terrorists. If so, the terrorists have won. This country might be another matter as too many people are already afraid of their own shadow. Concerted and continued incidents in this country would probably bring it to its knees. The psyche of the U.S. has always been fragile so I doubt it could handle repeated acts of terrorism. This is sad and frightening at the same time but what can one do? Move out of the country? Well, I have thought of that and I have a short list of three industrialized countries that would fit my needs very nicely. Now if I could only figure out how to finance such a move.
