There needs to be smoking bans everywhere... due to second hand smoke fears.

No handshakes or hugs at a couple of local high schools and colleges.... due to swine flu fears.

Democrats fear consevatives.

Republicans fear Obama.

The stock market fears everything.

With fear on the docket every day, why are so many people fear death?

We're all gonna die someday.

Once I finally realized that, I find life much more enjoyable.

No fear on my part.

The news media feeds on fear. Local news bumpers are the funniest.

What I fear was best described by Tommy Lee Jones character "Kay" in Men In Black:

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

Fear is a requirement with the media. I like how they generate their own news.

-Obama is going to take away your guns.

-Rush on gun purchases.

-Unemployment getting worse, people are losing their healthcare.

-Americans a desperate and have nowhere to turn.

-Guy snaps, shoots some people.

-Obama is going to take away your guns.

And around and around it goes.

Well... while he may not take away your guns, he's trying to make it a HUGE pain in the ass to own or buy one.

That and all the other ridiculous legislation on ammo and 'assault weapons', et al.

When will these dip****s learn laws only affect people who obey the law. You don't hear anything about the county in Florida (I forget which one) that had a shall issue CCW policy and the crime rate went down. Significantly.

Smaller gov't. Less spending. Lower taxes. And stay the eff outa my bidness.

#2...easier said than done.

When it's a part of your own life you get the magnitude and how you've squandered hours and minutes and that in the end 1000 years from now...nobody will remember your name.

When you have to stare at that guy in the mirror...call me.

Oh its doable.

No doubt about that.

The weight of having no fear? No, it'll make the biggest man cry like Meatloaf in "Fight Club". The thought of mortality coming to an end. Not being able to go forward. The "What if's". The "What's Going to Happen To..." and my personal fave the "I'm not going to be there to celebrate my kids'....".

As a person that's had to look at Death in a different light than almost everyone here I can truly tell you from experience that you will fear. You will discover God. You will be able to determine what matters and what doesn't. You will be different. You will fear.

Even knowing I was safe in my personal beliefs and had made my final peace with God...I was ready to go but I'm happy that our metting is delayed. I still feared.

Dr.- I'd agree...some fear inspires is a profound respect for life

is that what you mean?

I think fear that provokes positive action is good. Impulsive acts of panic...maybe not so good.

Tough to know which is which for me sometimes
