I think that one major problem is media itself.
Stop listening to the PROAGANDA, start living a normal life with a lot less Fear.
I certainly cannot speak for anyone else, but I don't see people living in fear. I see people determined to beat this.
I live right across the river from NYC, you can ( or could) see the twin towers clearly.. couldn't help but see them. and I and millions of others stood there and watched them come down.
I saw shock.. total shock... and disbelieve, and a lot of people crying..men and women.And after it set in as to what actually happened, a collective rage. But I did not see fear.. and still don't, regardless of what is in the media. and NYC ( and other countries that have been hit already) does not live in fear., the people refuse to.
I see determination, not fear.
The terrorist are banking on the fear factor.. which the civilized world has already proved to be ineffective
it was like unreal as a few of us saw the news channels halfway across the globe - camp / construction site. then a second plane? something from H.Wood; channel mix-up(?) and then the disaster started to filter in.
just can't imagine how you witnessed it first hand,
It was surreal.. at first.. then very real.
One thing I will never forget was the smell, like burnt concrete, but sickening sweet. It was on everything, for months. A constant dust in the air. I Had two brothers right there. 1 a fireman (he was lucky that day.) He stayed there for rescue, then recovery. the other works for the NYC DOT, he drove one of the dump trucks up that ramp every night for 6 months to the S.I. landfill. So the bones could be sifted out of the debris. Both don't talk much about it.. actually never.
