OK...got to ask. Who's afraid? Shakin' in their boots?

[NRaleighLiberal]

Had to post this, since it was the LEAD STORY on our local Raleigh news. Can't believe that the stale old fear card is being brought out of the dry powder to play....So....

[DJ13]

1. More context is needed

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. Haven't you heard? "credible" (but non specific, of course) terra threat for 911?

[DJ13]

7. Ah, I remember seeing that headline on Yahoo

Now it makes sense, thanks!

[Beaverhausen]

2. My milk is dated Sept 7th so I'm right on the edge

[Sheepshank]

11. good lord for a sec there I thought you were no longer lactating out of fear.

[gkhouston]

16. Oh, yeah, breasts come with expiry dates on the milk.

:rofl:

[teddy51]

3. Since I don't believe that the official 911 story is true, why be afraid? n/t

[robdogbucky]

17. Official story aside, what if those that let/made it happen want a reprise? n/t

[woo me with science]

5. I am afraid of the Super Committee.

I am afraid of what is happening to the social safety nets in this country. And angry.

[Warpy]

6. I'm afraid the craptacular power grid will spread the outage to NM

and I'll have to spend the rest of the evening listening to CDs on battery, headlamp on, and spinning the balance of my painted sock yarn. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, but my hands are a bit sore with the change in the weather.

The change in the weather is pleasant, though, fall has fell!

[polmaven]

8. This is a notable anniversary,

and the threat is apparently at least credible. It should be taken seriously and the public informed. I really don't see how mocking helps.

[gkhouston]

9. I'm afraid I'll never get another job.

I don't give a shit about terror alerts. I've already got as much anxiety as I can process.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

10. "Adjustments" to Social Security and Medicare have me on edge, not terra. (n/t)

[muntrv]

12. Like Chris Rock said, "I ain't afraid of Al Qaeda. I'm afraid of Al Cracker!"

[RC]

13. Just another FBI sting. Maybe they should be investigating the Republicans in Congress instead.

[bluestateguy]

14. I got over 9/11 a long time ago

I was freaked out for about 6 months and then proceeded to be a grownup and move on with my life.

More Americans die every year because of having no access to health care than died on that one day in 2001.

[Union Scribe]

15. I'm afraid of all kinds of shit, but the government waving Muslims at me

isn't one of them. Now, food poisoning, don't get me started.
