Moe, it's not so much what the terriorists will do to you but what another strike will do to our way of life. 9/11 cost every American, it damaged our economy. That's the most direct effect per person.

I'm not sure where you came up with the notion that my fear is not proportional to my risk?

Well, there's this:

I consider my level of risk high...

Followed by this:

I recognize my risk level is low...

Perhaps you can understand my confusion... <g>

Seriously, it was from your insistence that you were more fearful of terrorists than of bathtubs, and presumably traffic and the flu etc., etc., the many, many things that are objectively more risky to you and your family than terrorists. That's where.

I won't argue with anything else you said in this post.
