We're all paranoid Jon, the question is how paranoid? And, are we aranoid enough?
Granted, just because they're shooting doesn't mean they're shoting at you; but is is the best bet if you want to survive. Drop, roll behind something dence and take stock. I am a vet, and I am here because I was VERY paranoid. I still scan roof tops as I leave a building and avoid trash on the road. My daughter will not join the Army because she thinks it made dad and I strange. We freak at odd stuff, and feel calm when the fighting starts. That calm feeling is training. The freaky feeling is the grip of what we do not know. Is that discarded backseat from a car hinding a bomb? Could be. Might not be. Avoid it anyway. You have grown up in a different world Jon. It is the world I helped create for my children. Please do not point and stare at the ones that lived outside of it. Doug --- John Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Great Caesar's ghost!
