Reply #2: Monday I posted an idea about fear and 911

[peace13]

It dropped like a rock but I still feel like the concept is an important one. The fear that you speak of must be calmed in order for our country to be salvaged. I truly believe that until we give the fearful something tangible to hold on to they will willfully let this democracy dissolve. Below is the opening paragraph of that thread. You may find it interesting. The remainder is in my journal, October,2 titled How do we rebuild This America? Peace, Kim


In the days following 911 the leaders of the United States enlisted in an all-encompassing Fear Campaign. Americans were made to feel small and frightened. Who knew when the next attack would come? The message from the top was ‘Be Afraid’. As an American citizen I was appalled at the message. We were Americans, strong and brave. We should pull together, be vigilant, and help our neighbors if times got tough. But no, we did not hear anything about being strong. This orchestrated Fear Campaign has left many Americans in a frightened stupor. Those of us left standing, those who still have strength to put America back together, must supply the ‘fearful’ with the security that they need to survive. We need to give the people the tools to help themselves be strong
