While I do agree with your opinions regarding the origin of some crime in this country, I'm afraid I simply can not buy into the whole "culture of fear" theory promoted by Michael Moore et al.
I have witnessed, survived and cope daily with what I personally know is real evil in the world.
For me, it is not about someone telling me to be afraid. I observe and draw my own conclusions regarding the world around me. I think there are things to truly fear.
I also think one can understand the sociological, fiscal and environmental circumstances that would lead another to cause harm but still seek to protect oneself from it. I am willing and able to protect myself and applaud those who want to help.
