Too many people freak out over too many things. I remember around 1993 in Germany some brainamputated Skinheads put asylums for foreign refugees on fire and the "normal" people just stood there and watched the show. I remember being scared shit that the Nazi's are gonna come back to power and would put us in their camps. (Pretty outrageous idea, but I wasn't the only one. And looking at America and it's terrorism paranoia in the last years...) Looks like bad stuff happens, but the media very much magnifies it in our perception. (At least I can't find another explanation why many old people who are living in totally safe towns are afraid to leave the house after dawn because they fear being robbed). Great lesson.
