Sigh. Must everything come down to the current trend to motivation
by fear of danger from some random terrorist/psychopath/boogie man?
It is really getting quite old and I believe it seriously harms the
quality of our thinking and especially our envisioning of a future we
hope to arrive at and implementing the same.
The all-pervading fear and "fighting terrorism" is much more of a
dnager than terrorism itself.
