    It's pretty quiet around here, much like where you live. Except no guns.

    You might say 'What if ... ' but to that I'd tell you that I'm not scared of the society in which I live.

    You've helped me illustrate my original point.
    Precautions do not equal frightened.

    None of friends, family or myself have been burgled.

    I'm a realist when you are not and neither one of us is frightened.

    Me having six guns, baseball bat or the mere thought of getting a knife if doesn't equal scared.

    I am secure with the precaution I have in place.

    I even have a code word for instances that I may call my loved ones and they or myself can let each other know if someone who means ill will might be standing with them.

    Am I now actually frightened that this will happen? Nope.

    What if it does? Then I have some form of back-up when others do not.

    Otherwise...all of this is out of sight out of mind.......

    Busy, you took the precautions because of the fear you felt about the society in which you live, k?

    oh so you're the one that left the fan on


    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Pretty sad and perplexed actually. I thought it was a shame that that many unarmed people got killed in their home.

    @ busy and manker

    much as your debate over "fear" or "scared" is delightful I feel that you may purely be talking about levels.

    Busy is not scared as in sitting behind his doors shaking and constantly darting his gaze at any noise or gust of wind and manker isn't saying he is. I would say he would be better described as "concerned". People of course do only get concerned because of a level of fear and worry.

    When I was diving in South Africa I turned around to be confronted by a Great White Shark. The shark didn't attack but did "hang out" a while. Now I was definately concerned that I was in a tricky situation and my adrenal glands where working overtime...however I wouldn't say I was scared...in fact I took pictures.


    I get what manker is saying and it is 100% correct, it just may be viewed as a word to describe a paniced state rather than concern or worry..... or am I just pissing in the wind?

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
