"Uranus is not the center of the universe." (Myanus neither.)

Just because we fear someone doesn't mean they know we exist, or particularly care if we continue to exist.

We're real important to ourselves, but so important to others. Mostly folks worry about themselves, their families, and maybe their neighbors.

A lot of the people our government fears are too busy to give them the time of day. These "enemies" have their own concerns.

As a nation, we need to fear less and live more.

I'd like to see less money spent treating fear, and more money spent improving our bottom line. Our financial insolvency, shaky economy and mediocre educational system are bigger threats than any boogie men.

As long as we cower before every imagined threat and neglect our real problems, we are our own worst enemy.
