Do the now more frequent international terrorists incidents coupled with the mass shootings in the US create a sense apprehension in you?

Dear Ancient One,

No, not a sense of apprehension, not now...

For me, the watershed of disillusionment came April 1995, when Timothy McVeigh bombed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City... Until then, I truly believed It.Could.Never.Happen.Here.

What I feel now is more a sense of determination that I am going to live my life to the full, uncompromised by murderous bullies.

Yes that incident was a wake up call. The deaths, especially of the children in the day care ripped my heart apart.

No, sadness.

Bible Prophecy 📖. Critical times hard to deal with,  no natural affection, wars, conflicts, mass killings, pandemic crimes uncontrollable, diseases no cures, epidemic cancers, drug abuse, addicts, sales in the trillions, horrific misery, homelessness, global warning, worldwide shootings, man against man, nature against man.

Not really.  It is sad that such incidents happen and that there are actually people who would participate in such atrocities.  As for me, personally, I dfifgure I am more likely to bekilled by a drunk driver or a "responsible" gun owner.

I was going to go to a festival today at my local park and they'd caged everyone in and was using a metal detector and checking everyone's bags, bloody cheek. Anyhow, I made my feelings heard, I wasn't sure if it was just a local small festival or the airport I had to double check. When did they start caging people in at a festival? They said it was because they'd had trouble at previous festivals, I said I've lived here all my life and never known trouble at festivals that require to cage everyone in and check them like this (there is a fence around the park already).  I said look what you are doing to our freedoms, its ridiculous.  I wasn't sure if I was at the zoo with human beings as the attraction, I didn't go in needless to say.

My partner said, that they were doing it to protect people, what happens if someone went in there with a bomb, I said we grew up here, this isn't the bomb sort of place. What are they going to do, put a cage around the whole world? This is what this terrorist fear is doing to us, it is making us justify their actions of caging people in, and that can never be GOOD.
