Default Re: How Fear Mongering Has Benefited You

Quote:
I believe real problems, dangers and threats exist and to address this or these problems and prevent them BEFORE they manifest as real attacks is the smart thing to do.
I guess that makes me a fear monger too, by this definition.

I have a 10 year old daughter. I tell her not to talk to strangers. This preventive tactic seems a lot smarter to me than waiting for her to get in a car with a child molestor, and then telling her not to do that.

I draw a distinction between that behavior and starting a war with Iraq, and then attempting to retroactively scotch tape an anti-islamofascism agenda to it.

But please, carry on with your "lessons."
Those of us with smaller brains will try our best to keep up with you.
