Yes or no,

1. wow.....

that's sad.

One might think our govenment is failing us.

2. Actually not afraid then, not afraid now. So I feel no safer.

3. We're torturing people in Abu Ghraib, Gitmo & other places.

As far as I know, we weren't doing that before 9/11. The people we're torturing have friends and relatives. If I was the friend or relative of an innocent person being tortured in an American facility, I know how I'd feel about it, and that certainly does scare me.

4. Not afraid then, not afraid now.

So question doesn't really apply.

6. But.... aren't we supposed to be afraid that someone is gonna come

"git us?"

5. My sister called me when they were doing terror alerts

She asked about duct taping her windows and all that. I told her not to do it because she'd be letting these stupid alerts rule her life. Plus she lives on a farm out in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. I told her she was not a prime target for terrorists. :)

7. No difference, I haven't felt threatened before or after.

I don't understand all the panic of the sheep. I just go about my business and whatever happens, happens.

8. I wasn't afraid of terror then and I'm not know.

Your country's attitude to mine, however, scares the crap out of me.
