1. Not belonging.
If we stand out and say something unpopular, we risk being rejected by our society. People want to belong to the society and in the absence of a good leader, will follow a bad one as long as they feel they are a member in good standing.

2. If you really want to know, I'm afraid of Gitmo...
or some similar "punishment."

It's not completely unreasonable.

7. Do you think they're building rooms for us even now?
I mean, I don't know how big Gitmo is, or anything, but I think what you said is right on! Double right on! I think they could do it--they might even be doing it now. It's certainly something to think about.

What charges do you think they'll bring us up on--or is it one of those deals where we just get held and have no charges, no lawyer, no nothing?

Thanks for not being afraid to talk about a really awful fear in the back of ALL our minds'!

3. i am afraid because
we have complete idiots at the wheel who are steering us into one hell of a mess and the media seem to be supporting them all the way and the people are too dumb and lazy to see through it.

5. I am afraid because I just watched this video....
I knew the BFEE was bad, but "bad" is too good a word for these #*#()@(&#&#@_# 's. I may never sleep again.

The whole world could use a little MERCY now!

6. I am afraid
my son won't grow up in the same country (ideologically) that I did, and won't get the opportunities this country (and my hard work) gave me.
