What Makes You Feel Safe?
We hear so much about imaginary fear, fear, fear, that I was wondering.

What in your personal life makes you feel safe?

1. The Constitution of the United States
when it is followed, of course that is somewhat out of style these days.

2. History
Every society has thought they lived in the end times. And every society has pulled through its darkest hours with faith (and I don't mean faith in god). These are dark days, but I think we will rise up. It may take another revolution, but the righteous will prevail. And they are us.

5. Safe???
How can we be safe when terrists want to hurt us every day of the week??
Seriesly...that is a HUGH joke.
I feel safe everyday--everywhere. I use caution when needed, but I refuse to live in fear.
I don't give in to this nonsense of boogeymen and be afraid.

6. A larder chock full of food, a large supply of firewood...
and no pending bills. My neighbor might argue that a refrigerator full of beer makes himself feel safe.:shrug:

9. I'm more afraid of my bills than of dying by terrorist hands
Right up there next to those bills is the federal government deciding my bills are not bad enough and somehow make it worse for me.

10. Bills all paid and enough food in the pantry.
Even the tiniest thread of hope makes me feel safe too.
