Living in fear, to me, isn't admitting to myself that bad things can happen and preparing myself just in case they do. If someone breaks into my house I can have some control over that situation. What I don't have any control over is when some bureaucrat decides that I wasn't within my rights to defend myself when I kill the intruder. The thought of another terrorist attack doesn't scare me at all. The chances that I'll be a victim of said attack are about as good as winning the lottery. What I'm afraid of is how the mainstream media will hype it and what lawmakers will be "forced" to do to "protect" us from another attack. I'm not afraid of some major panic where everyone rushes to the store and fights over whatever is left. I can assure you that you won't see me there if it happens. What I'm afraid of is government "officials" showing up at my door and demanding that I surrender everything that I've put away because unprepared people are starving. I'm hardly living in fear today. I just do what I can to prevent ever having to.
