regarding the fear issue...michael moore has a very valid point.
I've noticed it in the past, but it's really so much more noticeable now because I am looking for it.
Every afternoon just turn into the shows before your local news comes on and they ALWAYS have tag lines like this...
"The hidden dangers in your city's water."
"Are their hidden dangers in the equipment at your children's schoolyard playground?" referring to arsenic in the wood.
The list goes on....and these are substitutes for the slow news night otherwise it's...
"Mother of two buys bat at wal-mart then beats her children to death."
There is always a hidden danger lurking somewhere in our lives and the news just points it out every chance they get.
