I'm sure we all have our moments of fear ... the same fears you have.
I go to the gym. I play guitar. I do e-mail ... like posting messages here
.. I follow baseball and football (I have some fantasy teams). I enjoy my
wife's company. I watch TV, and am trying to watch less and less of the
news. I listen to music. I read.
In other words, life goes on.
In my quiet moments, I do worry about this thing spinning out of control.
BTW: I wouldn't worry too much about bio or chem attacks. The ability to
mass produce and delivery these sorts of weapons is very difficult. You
hear a lot about anthrax, but reliable delivery of anthrax and nearly
impossible. Small pox is easier to deliver, but more difficult to produce.
There's a lot of misinformation floating around about these things. Chem is
a little more viable, but then difficult to deliver over a wide spread area.
These weapons work better in enclosed spaces, not wide open areas where they
might do more damage. I think we've probably seen the last of the suicide
passenger planes. I don't think pilots and passengers are going to be as
passive as they were on the first three planes.
That's not to say any of us are 100 percent safe. Or that this couldn't take
it's toll on the economy. But I think we are mostly safe, and the economy
is cyclical any way, so it will recover. Unless of course, this truly is
the end times, Armageddon, in which case, that just means Christ is coming
back any way.

Subject: Can't Get to Sleep -- Worries
Ugh.
I'm having some issues trying to sleep.
I keep thinking about this impending war and what may come as a result
of it. I fear retaliatory actions may be taken by some Taliban fanatics
here in NYC, and it's bothering me. Chem/Bio attacks, suicide
bombings... It's all very frightening, and then you add in the crappy
economy. I worry about losing my job, trying to find a new one, and
taking care of my family.
It's amounting to a lot of unnecessary stress I'm putting on myself.
How do you all cope with the events taking place? I'm finding that my
Karate class is helping, but not much.
Sorry, I needed to vent. I'm gonna get back to lurking and coding this
Spectra data feed which doesn't want to work for me right now...
