Pinky brought up an interesting point to me about the terrorism. She expressed her concern about terrorism in USA and what she had heard/seen. This sparkles an interest to me because millions of Americans have exactly same concern as Pinky so I want to talk about this.
The Illusion of Terrorism.... You have seen on many front pages and news with Global Incident Map. Government changed its legal definition of terrorism and will charge anybody with terrorism for even something silly like bomb threat at school.
Take a look at the map below:
Does this scare me? shock me? My answer is - not at all. not a single concern. I'm more concerned about crazy people or psycho around me than terrorists because terrorism attacks in USA is pretty rare compared to other countries especially Asia and Middle East. Look at Israel. I can't imagine living in there with constant threat where there could be a suicide bomber in middle of busy market street. We don't have that in NYC or any other major cities. USA government especially Republicans have a long history of playing fear in public because Republicans = Corporations especially war companies like Boeing, Northrop Grumman, etc = profitable.
so..... what's your say?
