Infinite- Thank you! Thank you for reinforcing that Europe has been experiencing terrorism for generations (as has nearly every other region on the
globe). Now that the US has had a few events here- we're the experts? Don't think so.
I sat in Charles DeGaulle for a day while it was shut down due a lost piece of luggage in 1996- on my way back from Paris. NO ONE thought twice about
it- it was staus quo.
Certainly the MSM directs most people's energy towards a crisis- which is why most educated people eschew it, in favor of truer sources of events,
data, etc. Information is power.
Ironically, the MSM is DOWNplaying the flu outbreak in many ways- numbers are not reported accurately, docs are told not to test for H1N1 or any other
strain (of which at least three are in circulation...) and we're all trying desperately- here- to get some kind of accurate overview. That's not
searching for gloom, OP- it's staying informed to protect ourselves, IMO.
